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!) I would directly address the concern with the math teachers. They should understand that your students require additional instruction and time. Perhaps administer the quiz after two weeks of instruction and compare the data/scores from those taken after only one week of instruction. If the results are much better, present your findings and ask the other teachers to allow you additional time and instruction before quizzing.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I don't think telling the teachers what they did wrong js a good thing. They might feel attacked.
