Case: How do I address poor quiz/test results?
I just began my third year of teaching, and while in many ways I feel much more comfortable with all the systems I've developed, I still haven't come up with a good way to review poor class tests/quizzes. Last week, I gave my 7th grade self-contained math classes a quick quiz on LCM, GCF, and simplifying fractions. The average score was about 60%. I'll continue to review the concepts in class of course, but I'm not sure how to handle handing it back. Should I hand it back, have them look over my comments, stick it in their data binders, and move on? Or do I go over the most frequently missed questions? Or should I have them do their own quiz corrections?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You definitely should not move on. We want the students to master math skills. You should go back over the the most frequent missed questions and even have the students redo the questions they got wrong. After we have reviewed the quiz, I would then have them put it in their data binder. I would also give them a similar quiz to the first one after you have retaught the skill. this allows you to see who understands the skill now and who still needs help. Also think about the way in which you are teaching the skill. You may have to change your teaching approach if the average score was about 60%. |

| Comments: I agree that the teacher should have the students fix their mistakes after another lesson and more practice is allowed. Then, giving another quiz that assess the same skills but with different numbers will show who made growth. I also agree that the teacher should reflect on her teaching method. The students need to be taught the same skills in multiple ways. The students that are struggling my be hands-on learners and need manipulatives. |

| Comments: This solution encourages the teacher to look at his or her teaching approach and consider a change since students are performing badly. Any time students are doing poorly, it seems wise to look at your teaching style first. |
