A certain Teacher

As a CSAP proctor, I was instructed to look through the
completed tests, and erase any stray marks that I saw. I was
also to look for any place that the students wrote outside
the lines, and tell them to fix it.

I was also informed at a staff meeting that a team of
teachers went over the completed exams with pencils and
erasers darkening any bubbles that looked too light, and
presumably cleaning up incomplete erasures.

This seems a little improper to me, and when I asked the
CDE, they told me that they couldn't answer the question
because protocol requires that I go to my school's test
administrator if I have any questions. Can anyone comment on
this? Here is what the CDE said to me:

Hello,

It would be best for you to direct your questions/concerns
to your District Assessment Coordinator (DAC). You can find
the contact information for your DAC on the CDE website at
the following link:

http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdeassess/DAC.asp

Our communication protocol is that proctors direct their
questions to their School Assessment Coordinator (SAC), if
SACs have a question they address them to their DAC, and if
DACs have questions about policies or procedures, DACs
address their questions to CDE. This ensures that questions
are answered by those with specific knowledge and
understanding of the particular issue.

Thanks
