  Case: County Assessments
My county creates math assessments that are correlated to the CCGPS standards and are closely related to the new Georgia Milestone assessment. These assessments have proved to be very difficult for students due to the fact that the students struggle with constructed responses. We are required to give these assessments to the students. It has been discouraging to say the least to see the results. We as 5th grade teachers are struggling with how to teach the students to think constructively. Are there any tips or suggestions for this. Any help would be appreciated!
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am a 5th grade teacher as well so I can relate to the difficulty of this situation. I would suggest giving practice constructed response. I would model what a good constructed response answer look likes and construct a rubric so that when students complete one, they know what they need to work on for the next time.
