Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: One Retake per Semester Students are allowed one retake per semester. A parent contacts you to request their child be given a second chance to retake an exam. How do you respond? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The school system that I teach in requires us to give retakes on all summative assessments where students do not score in a passing grade. I would allow this to happen and would let the parent know that in this system its about mastery of the content and that the student would need to take the following steps before the retake could occur. Step One - test corrections on missed items to include pages in book and notes in which to study for reassessment Step Two - After School Detention (ASD) to discuss areas of weakness and an effective plan for studying Step Three - Retake the assessment for areas of weakness only and gain points back on original assessment grade                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this.
