Chances are you have administered a test and it did not yield the results you expected. Perhaps a small percentage of students demonstrated mastery of the standard(s).

Imagine the test results were disappointing, think about:

  • Your audience
  • The original assessment
  • What alternative measures could have been used

In a word-processed document:

  • Cite the Florida Standard(s) being tested
  • Provide one test item from the original assessment
  • Describe an alternative approach to assess the standard that the original test item addressed 
  • Discuss your rationale(consider VAK, your audience, and the alternative assessments outlined in course)

Directions for uploading an assignment can be found in Assignments.

Discussion

  • Post a message in the Week 7 discussion forum that answers the questions, "How does understanding your own learning preferences empower you to meet the diverse learning needs of your students? What are some considerations teachers should make when creating and administering a classroom test to English learners?"
  • Post a follow-up message in response to an original posting made by one of your colleagues.

Final Project

Your project should be in its final stages by now. Remember, the final project will be submitted electronically next week.
