  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!)
Mr. Johnson should consider making a table of specifications. This way he would know if his questions are covering everything he is required to teach for that unit.

Comments: I agree. Placing each standard he taught in a table and providing a different activity for each one would also ensure that he has varying assessment for each standards taught.
