  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!)
I would make a spreadsheet of the retest grades and constantly update it, then file the tests. You could work with your other 3rd grade teachers and designate one or two hours every week to retesting. Each teacher could do a different test that needs to be retaken, and students can go to the coinciding classroom. Students who do not need to retake can work on a separate assignment.

Comments: I feel like this could be much harder to implement into each teachers curriculum unfortunately, as great as trying to coincide sounds.

Comments: This is a good idea to keep up with retest grades. Having students who do not need to retake do an alternate assignment is a good idea because they are still busy and learning rather than doing nothing.
