  Case: Low perfoming students
Mrs. Mims third grade students have been getting prepared for the end of the year state test all year long. Mrs. Mims has been giving her students extra worksheet practice on all the expected standards they will be tested on for the third grade in reading and math. When she gives her students assessments using two or three passages with multiple choice questions, her students still score poorly on these tests. What can Mrs.Mims do to get her students to better perform on these type of tests?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Mims must first identify the problem with the multiple choice questions being asked. If all of the students are performing poorly, perhaps there is a disconnect between the instruction and the assessment. A large issue that many schools face is the vocabulary that is used on the state assessments versus the vocabulary used at home and on worksheets in class. Ensuring that the students have been exposed to the vocabulary and the structure of the questions that are used on state tests will allow for better performance on them.
