They have shown progress over time but is currently failing. Student B is very capable but has played around the whole semester. He or she is failing, but could have been passing all along. Student B does well on assessments, but fails to complete or turn in all other assignments. How do you ensure that mastery grading is done fairly with the two students? Is it fair for student B to recieve a passing grade or the same privileges as student A? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would suggest grading them by their individual growth and ability. If a student is not showing growth they should not receive the same grade as a student who is working hard and showing growth. Each students grade should be based on their individual level.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes 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: This solution is too subjective and doesn't help the student who is not mastering the standards.
