Reassessing student work
Reassessment is how proficiency-based grading stays honest: the grade reflects best demonstrated evidence, not only the first attempt—within the boundaries you set in syllabus policy.
When to reassess
- After a resubmission that addresses gaps named in feedback
- When you discover a clear scoring error on an objective (fix the level, document why)
- When institutional policy requires a second reader on appeals (use your local process, then update TeachFront)
Keep benchmarks stable
- Reassess objective by objective; do not change unrelated levels to “balance” a total.
- Note in feedback what new evidence justified the change.
- If letter-grade benchmarks depend on proficiency counts, verify the grade calculation preview after major changes.
Pair with course policy
Publish how many attempts students receive, how late work interacts with proficiency levels, and whether Not Yet blocks credit until revision. Students should never be surprised that a resubmission replaced an earlier level.
