Module Five | Assignment One
Do you have a general idea of how classroom teachers can improve their tests? This task requires that you have a sufficient understanding of two common test-improvement strategies long —one judgmental and one empirical —and can identify flawed applications of those strategies. After you’ve submitted your response, I will post an illustrative response, which is intended to represent an appropriate response that will also help you judge the appropriateness of your own response. Consider the following:
Imagine that you are a member of a small professional learning community (PLC) at your middle school —a PLC whose focus is on improving the instructional skills of its 11 members. The group meets every other week for 90 minutes. Each PLC member has agreed to do some research on a PLC-designated topic, then provide a summary of that research to the whole group —orally or in writing.Two weeks ago, you were asked to do some reading about how to improve teachers’ classroom tests. You have decided to develop a brief explanation of what is involved in (1) judgmentally based test improvement and (2) empirically based test improvement. You intend to circulate a written description of these two test-improvement strategies to all TLC members at least three days before your next meeting.
Using no more than 400 words, describe the essence of each strategy (i.e., no more than 200 words per strategy).
