Certain pages are worth a greater number of points than other pages. I have to do this because we have a big absence problem at my school. If I don't check off each page, my students who are absent will not make up the pages that are missing from their notebooks.

I ha...I just found your blog and am very impressed! I have been reflecting on this year and wanted to do an interactive notebook for next year. How do you keep students accountable for what is in the notebook? Do you grade it according to a rubric and how often? <br /><br />Also, I agree with Lisa. By now, you make know the results of the test. All you can do is give it your best and hope that it is enough. I'm not in your classroom, but it appears that you have done an awesome job preparing your students. Everyone has a role--you, them, and their parents. There is only so much you can do in a 45-90 minute class period. They must want to understand, study, and work hard. Even if they did not reach your or the districts expectations, have they improved at all. Progress may not be all students exceeding the standards. It may be getting a student who normally scores 40% to make 60%.

You will judge yourself by your students' scores. You will celebrate success- you will grieve failure. While we try to instill desire for success, motivation to learn, student success is NOT something we control. Most teachers teach every single day. I wish I could say my students come to school to learn as often. Teaching has its ups and downs. Remember, that if you have made the difference to ONE student, you should be proud.Lisa Bnoreply@blogger.com
