◍ The students in a science class are being assessed by completing a
worksheet in which they are to label a diagram pertaining to photosynthesis.
The teacher is addressing the standard, "Illustrate the process of
photosynthesis. "Which objective matches the given assessment and
standard?.
Answer: Students will label a given illustration of the process of
photosynthesis with at least 85% accuracy.
◍ Instructional Activities.
Answer: the tasks and exercises students engage in to learn the content and
skills outlined in the curriculum
◍ Standardized Test Examples.
Answer: State-mandated assessments, National standardized tests (e.g.,
SAT, ACT), District benchmark assessments, Computer-adaptive tests,
, Diagnostic tests
◍ The students of an algebra class are taking an exam in which they must
identify the zeros of three quadratic polynomials and show their work. The
corresponding standard is, "Identify zeros of polynomials. "Which objective
matches the given assessment and standard?.
Answer: Students will use factoring to identify the zeros of quadratic
polynomials with 75% accuracy.
◍ evaluative feedback.
Answer: feedback that provides a judgment or assessment of the student's
performance or work
◍ box plot.
Answer: a graphical representation that shows the spread and distribution of
student scores or grades, including the minimum, maximum, and median
scores
◍ In order to address the objective, "Students will correctly express at least
four of the six trigonometric ratios when given a labeled right triangle and
an angle," a math teacher is giving an exam with five triangles. Students
must write the correct trigonometric ratios for one angle of each of the five
triangles. Which standard is aligned with the objective and assessment?.
Answer: Understand and apply trigonometric ratios.
◍ self-directed feedback.
Answer: feedback the student provides to themselves, often through
self-reflection or self-assessment
◍ A geography teacher is covering Asia in the current unit. The teacher has
found that 20 students are proficient in country names, 5 students are
proficient in lakes and oceans, 14 students are proficient in major cities, and
8 students are proficient in major rivers. There are 24 students in the class.
What is the area of greatest strength for the students, based on the given
data?.
Answer: Country names
, ◍ oral feedback.
Answer: verbal comments or suggestions given to a student about their work
or performance
◍ line graph.
Answer: a visual representation that shows trends or changes over time, such
as the improvement in student performance throughout a specific unit
◍ Progress Monitoring.
Answer: the ongoing process of using assessment data to track students'
academic growth and development
◍ The teacher of a precalculus class is presenting a unit about trigonometric
ratios. The goal is that students will be able to use a given right triangle to
calculate any of the six trigonometric ratios. Which assessment method
should this teacher use to effectively monitor student progress throughout
the unit?.
Answer: An end-of-class survey asking students to match trigonometric
ratios to values
◍ A history teacher gave a quiz at the end of a lesson about the
U. S. government. The class average for the quiz was 52%.How should the
teacher adjust instruction, based on the quiz results?.
Answer: Teach the content again using a different method
◍ The teacher of an engineering class is having students work on a project in
which they build a model bridge using hot glue and craft sticks. The project
is being used as an assessment for the objective, "Given basic materials,
students will build a 24-inch model bridge that supports a minimum of 10
pounds." Which standard is aligned with the assessment and objective?.
Answer: Create and implement solutions to real-world problems.
◍ Portfolio Assessment Examples.
Answer: Digital portfolios (e.g., Seesaw, Google Sites), Writing portfolios,
Art portfolios, STEM portfolios, Reflection journals
