I've never been quite sure if it would work as a general strategy in classes. Good luck with it and keep us posted!!Todd I.

It is something we were trying to do on our own already. Rather than creating separate "make-up" tests we tried to build in reteaching and multiple assesment opportunites to show mastery. <br />It also allows you to know which groups of students need help in which areas and who needs more of a challenge... No matter how you cut it however it is more work... But it is what the kids need.<br />Kudos to you for doing this and let us know how it developsBarbara Barreda K-8 Administrator, Tech integration advocate, Going 1:1 with netbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535523713482852906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525941061387824183.post-20283883202037040082009-10-25T13:29:27.251-04:002009-10-25T13:29:27.251-04:00Good luck with this!
