Reassessment Policy
The purpose of retaking an assessment is to demonstrate improved knowledge
and skills
related to course learning targets. Therefore, students must frst
demonstrate that they have invested additional time and practice to
prepare for the reassessment. Examples of additional practice include:
homework, classwork, study group, ofce hours, etc. These examples provide
evidence that a student has increased learning and is prepared for
reassessment.
Guidelines for Reassessment

practicepreparation before re!uesting to be reassessed.
Students will have a two week window following the return of the
assessment to complete a reassessment.

engaged in the reassessment protocol.

#contract$ with teacher.

Reassessment Contracts
&f a student would like to retake a summative assessment, it is hisher

Showing Profciency
