Selected Response
Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- Hello Mr. Smith. Are you getting ready for testing next week?
- Hello Miss. D, yes I am, but I'm having a hard time creating my selected response assessment. Do you know anything about selected responses?
- I am just the girl you're looking for. Come into my room during lunch and we can break them down.
- Slide: 2
- Hi Mr. Smith, I'm glad you could make it. Could you start by telling me what you know about selected response?
- Of course. I know selected responses are good for covering a lot of content. I also know that there are conditions for writing selected response assessments that I am worried about messing up.
- That's right! Selected response assessments have 3 conditions. The first being that it reflects the learning target that needs to be assessed. Basically, do they have full understanding of the idea?
- Slide: 3
- Oh that makes sense, it seems like it's used to assess straight forward knowledge targets and certain patterns of reasoning. What is the second condition when writing a selected response?
- The second and third condition go hand in hand. The 2nd is can your student understand English enough to fairly understand what the question is asking. 3rd being, if not, what can you do to assist them?
- Slide: 4
- That makes sense. So if I have a student that struggles to read and comprehend the question I can take other steps. Would it be okay if I read the question out loud to them? Or gave them pictures to represent each answer?
- Exactly Mr. Smith! We work at their level if we need! Do you know why we use selected response?
- Slide: 5
- You know Miss. D. I have no idea why we use selected response. Is that something you can also help me with?
- Slide: 6
- I would love to! Before we even make our selected response assessments, we have to ask ourselves something first Mr. Smith. What will I do with this information? Why did I make the assessment?
- That makes sense! I can't just be giving them as assessment for no reason.
- Slide: 7
- Correct! As teachers we can use the test results as feedback. It is great for pretests and making sure we nail all learning targets. It also provides us with insight on our students who may need more individualized time with us.
- Is it something we can use as feedback with the students and their parents? Will it also help measure their levels of achievement.
- Slide: 8
- You are spot on with that Mr. Smith. Do you know what is important to put into our selected response assessments?
- Miss D, I know the basics that are in a selected response, but I don't know why they're there. Do you?
- I sure do Mr. Smith. First, I need to tell you about propositions. They are statements that we as teachers write out about our content. This shows us where we are wanting our students to end up and at the same time keeping everyone at the same level.
- Slide: 9
- Once we have written all of our propositions, that hard part is over. We will take our propositions and turn them into multiple types of questions.
- So how do I make a great multiple choice question?
- The first thing you'll find is the proposition you want to make the question about. Second, you will find the main idea of your proposition and turn it into a simple question. We really focus on simple written questions so students can focus more on their answers.
- Slide: 10
- When creating a multiple choice question, be sure to make the other responses incorrect but still plausible. The incorrect answers should also be beneficial to us by showing partial understanding.
- On selected response questions you might see True/False question. These are super easy because we take our propositions and turn them into a statement. When needing the answer to be false, only a few small changes need to be made.
- Slide: 11
- Wow Miss D, thank you so much for taking your time to teach me about selected responses. I am going home to write my propositions!
- Sounds good Mr. Smith. Have a great day and good luck!
