Case: Test Retake For each unit test, I allow a retake. I student must see me for tutoring (or their own tutor) prior to retaking the unit test. I have had a few students take advantage of the retake and allowing them to boost their average quite a bit. However, I still have a handful of students who scored very low on their unit test who have not come for tutoring, shown any interest in retaking the unit test and have scored very low in math the past few years in middle school (looking on SLDS). I thought maybe contacting parents and making them aware of their child's low average in math would help them encourage the student at home. So far, nothing. What should I do from here. I hate to let it slide and it come down to the end of the semester and it be too late for them to do anything? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would first take a part of the day away that the student loves to participate in such as P.E. or recess. Some students will then love to get extra help when it comes to retaking their unit tests. I have even offered my students a five dollar McDonald's card if they score well on their unit tests. I have found my students to really want to try and work hard when they take these types of tests. The students will then take their time and work hard to find a solution to a given problem on the math test. |
