Chapter 10

This chapter touches solely on allowing students to redo work for full credit. Getting parents involved in this matter is discussed, and having students create a calendar towards success is a thoughtful idea that is presented. How to grade redos is touched on because it is very important to consider when grading somethings for ultimately the second time.

We do not really think we would single out particular students who did bad just to let them redo their work, we would rather allow a redo when there is a largely noticeable struggle on an assignment or assessment by the class. Since it is a redo, their second chance, we would not allow the students to achieve full credit. The suggestion of not allowing work to be redone during the last week of the grading period is important and great to keep in mind because it would be too much for a teacher. Ultimately, redos should have complete control by the teacher; what they are, when they are given and due, and how the students can go about finishing the redo.
