 * Learning target(s) this selection addresses:

“Selected response items are an excellent way to measure knowledge and reasoning learning targets, as long as students can read at the needed level to understand the questions.” They allow the teacher to cover a large amount of material in a short amount of time. A well written question is aligned to the target type and contains the correct amount of information as well as student friendly language to get an authentic assessment of the students’ mastery. Selected response items help students to feel more comfortable with the format of the state assessment. They are a great tool in formative assessments prior and after the instruction have occurred.
