Semester Exams 

The Delaware Area Career Center will no longer require instructors to give semester exams to determine a portion of the semester average for grades. Teachers will continue to develop rigorous learning opportunities and allow students to apply their learning in ways beyond memorization. Using an evidence-based model, teachers continually assess, provide feedback and fill gaps. Additionally, students will continue to have the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency through state testing and credential exams.23.
