  Case: Keeping Up With Retest Grades
In third grade, we are swamped with having to teach the most new standards out of any grades K-5. We also have to keep retesting students, until the end of the nine weeks, until they master each standard. If you can imagine, nine weeks of papers for standards from each subject... it's a lot! How should I go about recording grades? What are some ways to help keep us from not getting overwhelmed with constant retests?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Record your grades with decimals. For example, if a student makes a 50 on his first attempt and a 75 on his second attempt, then his recorded grade would be a 75.50. This way you know students have retested and what they scored without extra documentation. Another suggestion would be to require students to do more work as remediation. This forces students to really work to reassess, which will cut down on students reassessing standards over and over, because they will become tired of the remediation.
