Scaling Reassessments, Part 2

A quick comment before hitting the hay after another busy day: the reassessment system has hit it big in my new school.

Some facts to share:

• In the month since my reassessment sign-up system went up, 87% of my students have done at least one self-initiated reassessment, 69% doing more than one. This is much more usage than my system has had, well, ever.
• Last Friday was an all time high number of 53 reassessments over the course of a day. I will not be doing that again, ever.
• Students are not hoarding their credits, they are actually using them. I’ve committed to expiring them if they go unused, and they will all be expired by the end of the quarter, which is essentially tomorrow.

I need to come up with some new systems to manage the volume. I’ll likely limit the number of slots available in the morning, at lunch, and after school to encourage them to spread these out throughout the upcoming units instead of waiting, but more needs to be done. This is what I’ve been hoping for, and I need to capitalize on the enthusiasm students are showing for the system. Now I need to make it so I don’t pull all my hair out in the process.
