<p class="MsoNormal">I willingly give make-up tests in the LRC. I have a file drawer just for teachers to drop off tests, sorted by teacher’s name, and students are allowed to make up tests during their 55 minute lunch hour (we do not have study halls). I have
four desks located within view of mine and students are not allowed any books or notes unless it is expressly written on the tests. We’ve done this for almost ten years and proctor about 700 tests a year with a school enrollment of close to 2000.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because they are close to my desk and not allowed any other items with them we don’t *<b>usually</b>* have an issue with cheating, and it’s easy to keep one eye on them while still working at my desk. I view proctoring tests as an opportunity
to make our space valuable to coworkers and if I can get them in the door to drop off a test, a step in the door is an opportunity to talk about the library and the other services they offer.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would NOT be happy with the office being taken and having other people (you don’t say who is actually proctoring) in my private space. That doesn’t seem to be the best plan and taking my office space away would make me feel less valued
as an employee. </p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am in a small, private high school. Giving tests is not in my contract, nor my title. However, we are small and there is no one testing person. Teachers and administrators want me to be the Testing location and person. Unfortunately, without my consent,
my office in the library was turned into the Testing Location, although it is not staffed by me. It is open during the lunch period and after school. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My problem is, many students need to make up tests during class time that they missed. Or students who have an "alternate location" accommodation don't have anywhere to take it. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am really pushing back on this because, if I don't, I will become the testing person and location and what little planning time I have (I have a flexible schedule)- will cease to exist. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, I also want to be seen as a helpful and accommodating colleague. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A teacher just raised her voice at me regarding this issue- she is a Department Chair and on the only influential committee in our school (of which I am not, although I have asked). She said there is no other place- except the hallway. Of course, I want
to have students' best interest at heart - I am just torn. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What does your school do? Any advice? Should I just suck it up and be what the school needs me to be? (It is just that it's, obviously, distracting to supervise a student testing, when I need to concentrate on my work). I am just feeling deflated. </div>
<div><br>
