Mastery Tracking Competition:
Students are evaluated on Unit tests and the Final Exam based on Earth Science Standards determined by the Board of Education and State of Education. I use these standards to formulate a 6-week competition for my classes. The teams are randomly selected and students will be notified which team color they are. The ways to earn and lose points are as follows:
Earn Points :) (This impacts the whole team)
Achieve 75% or above accuracy on a Standard on a Test
Win Review Games during class
Stay after-school for review sessions
Following Cell Phone and Behavioral Policies
Lose Points :(
(This impacts the student individually)
Breaking School and Classroom Rules
Unexcused Absences
Cheating/Lying
Tardies/Consequences
