Comments
I am a Special Education teacher in Richmond, VA currently preparing my students to take the Biology and Earth Science SOLs, both of which feature several multipart assessment questions. I don't know a single teacher who would not grade similar questions based on partial credit, so I don't know why the state doesn't not offer partial credit. Five questions out of 50 may not seem like a lot, but for my students they are the difference between passing and failing. I fully support this bill and I am glad to see the General Assembly does as well.
