The district mandates each content-area department to give a nine-weeks exam that covers all material taught during each grading period. The assessment contains between thirty to forty multiple-choice questions and two constructed-response questions for each content area. Many students are not finishing the assessments within the one class period allotted; therefore, teachers are taking two days to give nine-weeks exams. The administration have instructed teachers to give the exam in one day, whether the students have finished or not. How should Mrs. Banks and her team handle this situation? Should the teachers test for one day and not allow the students to finish to appease the administration? How will they collect effective data if the students do not complete the assessment? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Maybe the constructed response questions could be answered and completed at home. Students could either submit their answers on paper or students could submit their answers electronically.
