Reply To: Lesson 1: Why Assessment Practices Needed To Change – Discussion Prompt

[Sunni Burns]

I have seen this before in the MMM course. I have always used test/quiz data to decide whether to pivot or move on or usually both…part of class pivots with one teacher while rest of class explores. We already allow retakes of tests and quizzes but a majority of students do not do much better. Usually they do worse even with required review. I like the idea of only testing on the objectives of the test they got wrong and retesting by having students explain problems instead of having to redo test and regrade.
