[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the other problems of the 90/10 split is that some classes end up having almost all assignments practice and just a few all tasks/assessments. If a math class does a ~weekly "exit ticket" that is classified as an assessment, that is great. There are enough grades in the book to cushion. If there are just 2-3 small assessments in a quarter and then 1-2 bigger county formatives, then being a little slower to pick up a new concept can suddenly derail a grade. Teachers that classify too much as practice/prep aren't ultimately doing a student any favors. I'd much prefer a 70/30 split or (similar to what we used to have) 10% homework/20-30%classwork or formative assignments/60-70% summatives or tests)[/quote] Now no more than 7 hw and 12 all task assignments are allowed at my school. I think there should be twice as much practice as assessment if the purpose of practice is preparation.[/quote]
