At Cooper we value learning and understand that sometimes students do not learn at the same pace.  We also know that many students need to develop better habits such as completing and turning in work on time, doing homework, spending time outside of class studying, and not falling behind in classes.  To help improve learning and school habits, Cooper is adopting the following in all classes as it relates to learning, meeting deadlines, and reassessing:

• Students must turn in all assignments before the initial unit assessment (or completion of a unit) in order to receive a score for those Assignments.

• Students who have not reached mastery on an assessment (less than 90%) may retake that assessment to replace the grade if they made a valid first attempt.   

• In order to retake an assessment, students must complete relearning before retaking the assessment.  This relearning is approved by the teacher but will not directly affect the course grade.  Relearning may include one or more of the following:  attending tutoring, completion of all relevant assignments, completion of additional work, test corrections, completion of an online module, etc.

• The deadline for completing a reassessment is determined by each content area department but at least 10 days after the initial assessment.
