FIAE Chapter 10

Chapter 10 FIAE

Conditions for redoing work for full credit

Summary-

This chapter really lines things up for us. They give us some great advice starting with that all the work that going to be redone in our classroom should be done at our discretion. We really need to make sure the reasons the student is going to be redoing the assignment is because of an issue that we are aware of. Also we need to reserve the right to change the format in which the redone homework is done. Sometimes there are situations that need to have special attention or concerns for students and teachers. They also tell us to never average a grade if something is redone. Why would you want to give a student or a parent a not accurate grade of the students understanding? If they earn the grade the next time around, give them the deserved grade then! Heather pointed out to always make sure to have the students pass in their original task and the redone one as well. Luke reminds us to not let the students do any redo work the last week of school, for our sanity.

Reflections-

After reading this chapter we are all in agreement that we will keep this chapter in mind for when we make our own policies on redoes. Heather brings up the fact though we as teachers need to be in tune with our students and their needs, just incase extenuating circumstances do come up and students need the redo or retake. Luke was all for this chapter, and I was happy to just gain some insight on the whole issue.
