The first quarter just ended and Benchmark Test scores are
in! I am excited that most of my students received advanced and proficient on
their tests…I guess I am doing something right! At this time in the
school year I have my secondary U.S. History and Civics students complete the Grade Progress Chart. On this form, each student keeps track of their yearly State
Test, quarterly Benchmarks and unit tests.
Each month, they analyze their test scores and determine what
they can do to improve their grades. My students keep this form in their
Interactive Notebook. It’s rewarding to see my students get excited when they
improve their scores.
What similar strategies do you use in your classroom?
