Evaluation of Student Progress. (In high school to be evaluated beginning in winter quarter) The Teacher: • Evaluates students frequently, fairly, and consistently through a variety of formal and informal techniques. • Uses technology to facilitate assessment. • Uses results not only to measure student progress, but also to assess the effectiveness of instruction. • Helps student understand their learning strengths and weaknesses and to develop strategies to build on their strengths and work on their weaknesses.
Evaluation of Student Progress. The effective teacher provides for appropriate evaluative procedures designed to assess the effectiveness of instruction. The teacher plans the assessment of student learning, on a group and an individual basis, prior to introducing new knowledge or skills. The teacher effectively monitors student understanding of the curriculum and adjusts instruction, materials, or assessments when appropriate. The teacher produces evidence that assigned students have achieved appropriate and satisfactory academic progress (or, in the case of children with special needs, the achievement of the goals of the individualized educational plan), given the range of student skill and motivation. These procedures should be both formal and informal with the specific objective of improving instruction both for the class as a whole and individual students. Assessments for whatever purpose should reflect the staff member’s best professional judgment within his/her own realm of professional expertise.
Evaluation of Student Progress. Classroom Attendance: All students of the MacIntosh Real Estate School are enrolled as correspondence (home–study) students. Therefore classroom attendance is neither available nor required. Grading Policy: Correspondence students must submit completed final exams for each course being taken (via the website.) For the Associate Broker curriculum, (168 hours) the student must submit six final exams with passing grades: one each for Real Estate Law and Practice, Colorado Contracts and Regulations, Trust Accounts and Record Keeping, Current Legal Issues, Real Estate Closings, and Practical Applications. Student must also pass two Prep Exams following the last final exam. Each final exam is automatically graded and the student is given the results immediately. All students must submit all completed exams by the end of the scheduled course work. In accordance of the requirements of the State Brokers examination, all students must pass each exam by at least 75%. A student's progress is considered unsatisfactory when the student is not progressing at a rate that corresponds with these requirements. All final exams are open-book and untimed, and students have been given the information and tools with which to successfully answer all questions correctly within the materials and online Q&A resources provided by the school. Therefore, students are expected to be able to reach the passing score for all tests with the appropriate amount of effort, within the allotted enrollment period. Nevertheless, should the student fail a particular exam, at the sole discretion of the school they may be given up to three chances to take and pass a course final exam. Should a student fail a final exam three times, they will be dismissed from that particular course and no credit will be granted. School will grant credit for any other course already passed, and reserves the right to allow or deny the student the opportunity to complete any remaining courses.
