Unit 5 Test

Students recently finished the test over the Unit 5 material covered immediately before the two week Christmas break. Scores were extremely low and after working with the students today, I've come to the conclusion that I don't have enough confidence that the test and the instruction received were well matched. I simply don't feel comfortable in assigning grades on this material without that confidence.

For that reason, I have deleted that evaluation from their scores and have removed it from Power School. Before deleting I did give students who did well the benefit of their successful completion of the evaluation by replacing a prior lower grade with their score on the Unit 5 exam if that score was higher.

I will be evaluating the Unit 5 material in small segments throughout the next month or so.
