  Case: How do you grade work that is completed with assistance
I have a couple of students this year who need extensive assistance when completing work. Of course, everything comes out perfect because I or the para or the Resource teacher have corrected the work as they went along. I don't feel that giving them a 100 is appropriate...but what is an appropriate grade. Our district does not have a policy on this, so I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Work that is completed with assistance should be graded on student participation and involvement during the assistance. For instance, if a student is receiving help with a math sheet and they sit back in their chair with no interest as the para or teacher does the work they will not receive credit. However, if the student is engaged and working through the problem with the para or teacher they should receive credit based on their attempt.

Comments: It is true that when an assignment is completed with assistance, that it can not be assessed to see what the student know. You have to also assess them without assistance to see where they are and the improvements they have made.
