  Case: Too Many Assessments
As an Early Intervention Program teacher I support the classroom teachers' instruction in math. Many of the classroom teachers are requiring our EIP math students to complete a weekly quiz that is very challenging. The EIP students regularly fail the quiz, but the teachers continue to administer it and not change their instruction based on the previous results. What is the best way to address the issue so that the EIP students are effectively using their time to strengthen their skills instead of just getting a failing grade each week?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
My first suggestion would be to talk to the teachers and suggest ideas they can implement instead of weekly quizzes. If they are dead set on the quizzes, they need to be adapted to better fit the students needs, offer to help them out with adapting them. If that still doesn't work, I'd talk to the administration.

Comments: I agree, and would add that it might be necessary to bring in some examples of the scores your students are receiving, and bring in any paperwork that might help support your case. These teachers may not realize what a struggle it is for the students you are working with. Speaking in a respectful, but honest manner could go far. If they refuse, then yes, take it higher.

Comments: I agree that a discussion with the teachers is necessary. Suggesting new ideas and assessments to administer instead of the challenging quizzes may be helpful. I also agree that the teachers need to modify the quizzes to adapt them to the needs of the students, if they refuse to replace the weekly quizzes with other forms of assessment.
