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 ensure that his constructed response questions are a reflection of the standards he has taught. For instance, if the standard he is teaching reflects explaining the concept, then the constructed response question created should require students to explain the concepts. Each standard has a set of specific skills and content the students should master, so the questions should be an extension of what is taught in the standard.
