  Case: Student Growth
When looking at previous testing scores, Mrs. B sees that almost all of the children in her last period class did not meet the standards for passing Social Studies last year. When Mrs. B made her concerns about the previous scores known to her administrators she was told that the main goal was to work towards "student growth." As Mrs. B has been teaching this year she has yet to see any growth in her students. She feels as if this may be a result of the fact that the students in the class are grouped by ability. As a result, there are lots of behavior problems and not a lot of student motivation. What should Mrs. B do to help her students realize the importance of their education and assessments?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Find what motivates each and every student. Student surveys may be a god way to start this process. Valuing the student opinion and desires is important.
