Give students another chance: Dr. Fischler's recipe for "making time a variable"

"All students can learn,
but they learn at different rates."

A teacher in Fort Lauderdale allows students to re-do homework.  The teacher gives extra points for the effort.  The teacher, Rachelle Boggan at Bennett Elementary in Fort Lauderdale, averages the two grades.

A poster has been developed to highlight this procedure.  CLICK HERE TO SEE THE POSTER 

This procedure supports what Dr. Fischler calls "the student is the class" -- if we vary time, we can give students a chance to master a skill.

Instead of asking the student to fit the administrative structure (i.e., the arbitrary time periods for learning), we must provide each student with the time and means to succeed. Rather than punish the student who learns more slowly, we must treat each student as the class.   Abraham S. Fischler, Ed.D.
