Redesigning Assessment for Growth in Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers
Page: 1460
The authors redesigned their Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers course sequence to use alternative grading practices. The goal of these changes was to decrease DFW rates and to improve equitable access to mathematical ideas. We discuss the nature of the assessments used, the implications for course content, and technological innovations for further adoption. We analyze the grade distributions, and some focus group interviews with students.
