My Reflections on Live Oral Test Revisions
A couple weeks ago, I posted a blog post on my idea to try out live, in-person oral test revisions for a past polynomial test my Algebra II students took. I had mixed feelings on the entire experience - here are my thoughts and reflections!
FRQ Practice Ideas for Next Year
It’s that time of year again…my seniors have gone, I find myself with a bit more unstructured time during the school day, and my mind is flooded with ideas to try for next year and things to improve.

Trying out Google Calendar’s new ‘Appointment Schedule’ feature for ‘Oral Test Revisions’
I am trying out an alternative to my typical test corrections: oral exams where students solve new problems individually at the whiteboards in my room to demonstrate improved understanding and mastery of material they initially struggled with. I am using Google Calendar’s appointment schedule feature for the first time to allow students to book time slots. I am also having students complete a self-reflection first on their initial assessment.
