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 have no idea the reason for creating and implementing weekly quizzes. I believe there is a reason for the weekly quizzes. However, I do know students need to succeed and with success comes motivation. Students who are at risk need to feel as if they can pass a quiz and complete school assignments. Creating assessment that ensures students can pass will help students stay motivated. I would try to create tests that assess students mastery of content being covered in class as well as provide scaffold help within the test to ensure they can pass. No one like to fail at everything they do.
