Accurate Answers
A fifth-grade teacher is creating a proficiency scale to assess the following
standards: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.5.3: "Know and apply grade-level phonics and
word analysis skills in decoding words" (Common Core State Standards Initiative,
2021). CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.5.3.a: "Use combined knowledge of all letter-sound
correspondences, syllabication patterns, and morphology (roots and affixes) to
read accurately unfamiliar multisyllabic words in context and out of context"
(Common Core State Standards Initiative, 2021). Which proficiency scale
statement measures developing level 2.0 proficiency for the given standards?
correct answer The student will describe phonics and decoding techniques.
A high school mathematics teacher is reviewing the following standard in order to
develop an assessment for an upcoming statistics unit:
CCSS.Math.Content.HSS.MD.A.3: "Develop a probability distribution for a random
variable defined for a sample space in which theoretical probabilities can be
calculated; find the expected value. For example, find the theoretical probability
distribution for the number of correct answers obtained by guessing on all five
questions of a multiple-choice test where each question has four choices, and find
the expected grade under various grading schemes" (Common Core State
Standards Initiative, 2021). Which proficiency scale statement measures target
level 3.0 proficiency for procedural knowledge based on the given standard?
correct answer The student will develop a probability distribution for a random
variable and then find the expected value.
A high school psychology teacher is reviewing the following standard for the
curriculum and making note of the measurement topics: Standard Area:
Personality 1.1: "Explain how biological and environmental factors interact to
, influence personality" (American Psychological Association, 2022). Which
measurement topic aligns to the given standard? correct answer Genetics
A middle school music teacher wants to design a proficiency scale to determine
which students possess the basic skills for playing their respective instruments in
the school band. The scale will be based on the following standards: Anchor
Standard 8: "Perform a varied repertoire of music by playing instruments, alone
and with others, from rote memory and written notation" (Indiana Department of
Education, 2018). P.8.8.1: "Play accurate pitches and rhythms, as modeled and/or
visually notated, in tune with a steady beat, good tone quality, and appropriate
technique throughout the known range of the instrument(s)" (Indiana
Department of Education, 2018). P.8.8.2: "Play unpitched, melodic, and harmonic
instruments with expression and technical accuracy, as modeled and/or visually
notated, and portray appropriate style" (Indiana Department of Education, 2018).
Which proficiency scale statement measures procedural knowledg correct answer
The student will demonstrate proper fingering technique on a clarinet.
A student achieved the following assessment scores for a measurement topic,
based on a four-point proficiency scale:
0.5
1.5
2.0
2.0
2.5
2.5
3.0
The teacher estimated the student's true summative score, rounded to the
nearest tenth, is 3.1.Which mathematical model did the teacher use to estimate
the student's true summative score? correct answer Linear trend
