  Case: Constructed Response Summative Assessment
Mr. Johnson is part of a county initiative to vary assessment practices. He wants to include more constructed response questions in his assessments. His first test was 3 essay questions covering assessing one unit. He felt that the assessment did not measure all of the material he covered. What can he do to vary assessment and ensure that he is testing most of what was taught?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While essay questions and constructive response questions are excellent ways to test students, it is perfectly fine to include multiple choice questions, matching and essay in order to fully cover the content area being tested.

Comments: Yes. Multiple choice is fine but this doesn't help him to vary his assessments nor cover them all at the same time. He needs a strategy for doing what he wants to accomplish.

Comments: By doing this we can get a better idea of what our students know because all content is being covered and students express their knowledge in more than one way.

Comments: Testing involves many elements. It is acceptable to vary the response types, but constructed responses should be expected to help prepare students for the end of course exam this spring.
