Unfortunately, his students have recently recognized this pattern of pre then post exams and begun to bubble in answers on his pretest answer documents at random. This behavior is preventing Mr. Miller from truly understanding how his students are learning. What should Mr. Miller do to ensure his students are putting forth their best effort on unit preassessments? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Since using both pre and post data is critical, Mr. Miller could use the same questions, but present them in a different way for each test. For example, when giving the pretest, Mr. Miller could create a multiple choice answer bank, but on the post, the student would have the same question, but may need to answer it with a constructed response. By doing this, he will have two forms of documentation and varied assessment to show the students learning.
