Learn ways to prevent and stop cheating in the classroom.
Student cheating. It’s one of the most vexing and pressing problems facing K-12 teachers during an era of intense external pressure. High-stakes standardized and college admissions tests have students chewing their #2 pencils to the nub. Students are willing to do almost anything to appear as if they are performing at or above the level expected of them – from copying homework, to plagiarizing papers, to texting answers to each other during tests.
Parents, too, seem willing to cross the line to help their children “succeed,” even going as far as writing their students’ papers for them. Cheating Part I: Changing School Culture will show teachers and administrators the reasons why cheating is such a big problem today. And, because cheating is a systemic issue that requires action at multiple levels, Cheating Part I: Changing School Culture will focus on practical suggestions at the school-wide level.
Co-presenters Karen O. Clifford and Tricia Bertram Gallant will explain why students cheat and hold a dialogue on ways to prevent it.
Cheating Part I: Changing School Culture is part one of a two-part series on cheating. You can also order Cheating Part II: Addressing Cheating in the Classroom for a discounted price.
