Mathematics Reassessment Guideline

Ideally, a student will not need to reassess because they have reached their goals the first time
attempting an assessment. However, it is not realistic that every student will demonstrate a level of
understanding they’re fully satisfied with every time an assessment is conducted by a teacher. For that
reason, reassessments must be available, and the following is a set of guidelines for how teachers can
reassess their students specifically within the field of mathematics.

Reassessments are not given to students; they’re earned by students. For a student to earn a
reassessment, they must meet the following requirements:
 The student is advocating for themselves to get the reassessment opportunity. *
 The student is attending before/after school tutorials and studying the topic(s) of the
reassessment to take place.
 Based on the teacher’s formative assessments, it must be evident the student has been practicing.
 The student can demonstrate proficiency in additional practice given to them.
 The student has good attendance during regular class hours.

* It should be noted that students with anxiety, selective mutism, or other exceptionalities may not
advocate for themselves. In certain circumstances, the teacher should approach the student for a
reassessment.

Once the requirements above have been met and the student is eligible for reassessment, the next course
of action is dependent on the grade of the first assessment:

Initial Grade Course of Action

1. The student must attend before/after school tutorials correct errors made on the
initial assessment.
2. Formatively assess them. (How much have they improved? How much assistance
do they require? Can they explain their mistakes and how they get correct
solutions?)
3. Once you feel they’re prepared, give them additional practice they have not seen
0%-90%
before then go over it with them. Use your professional judgement and determine
if they need more practice.
4. Conduct the reassessment of the learning outcomes they lost marks on in
the initial assessment. Do not reassess what they have already earned credit
for.
1. Student must talk to the teacher at an appropriate time and demonstrate
learning in the outcomes not met on the initial assessment verbally and/or
90%-99% through writing.
2. The teacher can credit them for demonstrating learning as they see fit.

Remember, reassessment is up to the professional judgement of the teacher. These are guidelines to
assist math teachers with the process from beginning to end. These steps may not be appropriate for
every reassessment conducted.
