What is a potential reason a teacher might examine their grade book?

  1. To plan extracurricular activities

  2. To determine if students understand lesson material

  3. To compare grades with other teachers

  4. To develop friendships with students

The correct answer is: To determine if students understand lesson material

Examining the grade book is a crucial practice for teachers as it provides direct insight into student performance and comprehension of lesson material. By analyzing grades, a teacher can identify which students are struggling and which concepts may not have been effectively communicated. This reflection enables the teacher to adjust their instruction based on observed learning trends, ensuring that all students receive the support they need to succeed. It is a strategic approach to enhancing instructional quality and addressing educational gaps.
