Case: Troubled on Tests I have two students who demonstrate they are able to do things proficiently in class, especially in math. Oftentimes, they even excel, and I have them become peer-tutors on the topics for their classmates. When it comes to our weekly common assessment, however, they freeze. It is like they have never seen the material before and have no idea where to even start. The test has had the same format since the first week of school. We go over their tests weekly, have them work through the problems they miss, dissect and conference on what parts they were confused on and what they can do to fix it. Most of the time, they are able to correct it without any help for me. They just can't do it on the actual test. These tests are the only things we are allowed to put in for grades. The parents are upset because their children are consistently scoring low or failing math each quarter. They say I am not doing enough to help their students, I am not sending home enough extra work, etc. I have explained to them many times that in class every day of the week besides the test day, they are able to do everything 100% without my assistance, but of course this is not a satisfactory response, and I understand. At this point, however, I am kind of at a loss for what more I can do. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Have them do a practice test |
