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!)
Ultimately, the parent wants to ensure that the student's grade is in good standing.
I would reiterate the retest policy to the parent, but I would also provide additional opportunities for all students to earn points other than taking another retest, especially if I can see that many students didn't do well on the test.
My students maintain a data tracking folder where they analyze their strengths and weaknesses. If students get this signed by a parent, then the students earn additional points toward a test or assessment.
I have also offered one extra credit assignment per grading period where students have an opportunity to earn additional points toward their grade.
Although these additional points might not impact the students as much as retaking a test, they are additional opportunities for the student to take advantage of during the semester to improve their grade. |

| Comments: Overall I agree with this solution seeing as it offers the students with a plethora of opportunities to grow academically. Although it'd important to maintain classroom procedure, offering other assignments and extra credit opportunities to earn back lost points might help motivate students to study their material more. |
