  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!)
Recently, many have said to simply overwrite the old scores and only keep the current score. If the students have been retested, that current score is where they are currently as it relates to mastering the standard. I would suggest just placing the tests in a folder until the end of the 9 weeks and then sending them all home so that the parent can see how they progressed.
