Today we found out how much of the information was retained over the course of the unit. The first assessment was the "Know it", which consisted of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and an open-ended question. The students were provided a word bank and most made the effort to answer the open-ended question - a good sign!
The second assessment was the "Do it", and covered the learned skills. The scores for this assessment were very high, most earning a 4/4. This, hopefully, gets us off to a great semester as the students see the benefit of the practice (daily assignments) for their desired payoff with a great assessment score.
At this point in the semester, these two assessments are 100% of your student's grade (we will be doing retakes on Friday and Monday if the students have all their assignments turned in). The "Know it" measured two standards and the "Do it" measured another one (so three standards for two assessments). For their class grade, I count up the EGs (expected growth) vs the NEGs (not expected growth) or MGs (missing growth - absent).

- All EGs = A.
- One NEG = B.
- Two or more NEGs = C.
- One MG i= D.
- More than one MG = F.
