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's first step is to determine what it is he is trying to assess. Then, Mr. Johnson can start by using the standards to create his assessments. By reviewing each standard he has taught he can determine what would be the appropriate way to assess each standard. Mr. Johnson vary the assessment depending on what his students were required to learn. If they were required to learn a skill then his assessment should be some type of performance task where students are asked to apply what they have learned. If they were required to memorize or learn information then a creative paper test may be more fitting.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think this is a suitable situation I would do this.
