Front

True/false questions give students a 50 percent chance of guessing correctly. The teacher can remedy this by using modified true/false questions which require students to rewrite the false statements and make them true.

Running records

Front

Are used to assess reading performance as a student reads from a benchmark book, and provides insight into why a student may be struggling with reading comprehension or fluency. Assessed selections are short for early emergent readers and generally no more 100-150 words long for fluent readers. As the student reads aloud, the teacher notes words that are substituted or omitted.

Back

The best tool for a teacher to use to keep a running, averaged record of student scores throughout the year is a

Front

Spreadsheet. This is a useful tool for calculating running totals of scores since they can be designed to calculate averages as you add in data. Most districts have online grading programs that are used for entering grades, calculating averages, and posting marks online for parents, guardians, and students to view.

Back

What type of question elicits a written, pictorial, or graphic response from a student?

Front

Constructed-response questions require that the student construct or create something to answer the question rather than choosing from a list. It can be as long as an essay. In mathematics, constructed-response questions require students to use words, numbers, symbols and images to answer questions.

Student test performance reflects

A student's test scores reflect his or her understanding of the topic and the quality of instruction the student received.

Back

Anecdotal records are

Front

A type of informal evaluation. Teachers record their observations of student performance, and over time they can see patterns of growth. Also a useful tool to document the effectiveness of interventions and can be used in action research.

Back

What type of test could a school district use to determine if state standards were being effectively taught?

Front

A criterion-reference test (also called a criterion-based test) is used to test mastery of specific benchmark standards. Tests such as the FCAT and PARCC are criterion-referenced tests.

Back

If a high school literature teacher wants to assess if her students understand sub-concepts that fall under a larger theme, she could have students create a

Front

Concept map. To show a relationship between a main theme and supporting ideas.

A student's academic grades on report cards are derived from

Scores on tests, assignments, and homework are all used to calculate a student's final report-card grade.

Is designed to assess student comprehension of specific skills based on state standards.

Back

What would be the best way for a teacher to prepare her students for the state mandatory criterion-referenced test that is administered every year?

Front

The best way to prepare students for any test is to make sure that they are familiar with both the test format and content.

Back

If a teacher wants to be sure that her students are prepared for the state-administered standards test at the end of the year, she should

Plan with the objective of student mastery of state standards. (as used for any test)

A student portfolio is an effective evaluation tool because it

Front

A student portfolio is a collection of student work over an extended period of time. It is useful in showing student progress.

Back

When sharing assessment data with a parent or guardian, it is important to

Front

Always start out with a specific, positive comment before voicing any concerns.

Back

If a student repeatedly fails a mastery test

Front

The student may be lacking a prerequisite skill. For example, a student who struggles with long division may have not mastered multiplication math facts. Revisiting prerequisite skills may remedy the problem.

Back

When testing for mastery,

Front

It is acceptable to reteach and retest concepts multiple times until the student shows mastery of the skill.

Back

What is the best example of a cognitive objective?

Front

Students will complete a two-digit multiplication skills test with 85 percent mastery. A cognitive objective has three main components: the condition, the behavior, and the degree.

Back

A classroom teacher has a visually impaired student in his class. When preparing a class assessment, the teacher should
