Procedures for
RETAKING A SCIENCE QUIZ OR TEST
Students
who need to retake a quiz/test will first participate in in-class
re-teaching. During the re-teaching
time, I will be working with the students who struggled with the material on
the quiz/test helping them to better understand the content.
Once
we have completed the re-teaching lesson, I will set a retest date.
This date will be within a few days of the re-teaching session, and
often it will be the very next day. On
that day, the students will take the retake during class. The grade on the second assessment is the
grade that will go in the grade book, replacing the original grade.
While
I am re-teaching and retesting students, the rest of the class will be working
on a variety of enrichment activities with the goal of taking their
understanding of the content to the next level.
Students
will be assigned to re-teaching or enrichment based on their grade on the first
quiz/test as follows:
Students earning an A or B will be participating in
the enrichment activity.
They will not be retaking the quiz/test as they have
already mastered the content.
Students earning a C
will have the opportunity to elect to participate in re-
teaching/retesting or the enrichment activity. However, I may choose for them to do the
retesting if I feel it is necessary.
