Case: Project-based Assessment
Mrs. Lee assigned a project to her middle grades English Language Arts classes. The project required the students to create a 3-d model. On the due date, a female student approached Mrs. Lee and stated, "I did not complete the project, I am not good with projects." How should Mrs. Lee handle the student's response? Should the student be allowed an alternate assessment or be allowed more time to complete the original assignment?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher should definitely make parent/guardian contact to find out if there was any particular reason as to why this project posed a problem. The teacher should conference with the student and go over different options and ways they could produce a model of the assignment(offering multiple means of representation). For example: You can have them build a plant cell the old boring way; using modeling clay, or you can peek the students interests by utilizing unique materials such as edible ones. Additionally the teacher could offer any or all necessary materials, ask guiding questions based around the student's interests, and assist the student in producing a step by step plan of attack to accomplish the required elements of the assignment. The teacher should offer an additional day or two with a late grade penalty to offer the student the necessary time to complete.
The student failed to make any effort to attempt the project assignment. Allowing the student to change what they submit is not realistic. In the real world there are going to be many times we have to do things that we do not want to do. Make sure that your student knows in the future that if they have a problem, concern, or question to come to you as soon as the assignment is offered, not on the due date. |

| Comments: I agree that since the student had the conversation with the teacher on the day the project was due should not be given an extra opportunity to make up the assessment. The student must be taught a lesson of responsibility. |
