Cumulative Quizzes utilized on Thursdays to enhance retention
Cumulative quizzing allowed for us to increase retention for students. This gave them something to look at consistently to monitor progress in achieving their goals.
students monitored progress by learning target on capacity matrix
Compared objectives covered on matrix in INB to make sure all objectives were covered. Students recorded progress on matrix to see how they were doing on each LT.
Students Progress tracked to monitor goal attainability
Students would set goals each unit and track progress on their goals. Students used quizzes and checked on their goals to reflect each week. Example- April 1st - "I have checked on my goals one time and achieved that goal." April 8th- "I have done my goal both times now and wish I would have started this sooner."
