Click on Q# to read the question from the DEA test. By looking at the question, classroom instruction (ex: bell ringer ) can be aligned to the assessment. This follows Backward Design- using the assessment to guide instruction. Click on the blue + sign to show how students answered the question. After analyzing the question ( Q# ) and how students answered ( blue + ), learning misconceptions can be identified. Misconceptions may include- learning does not mirror question, different vocabulary, or learning has not reached the complexity shown in the assessment. Click on the Reporting Category to locate additional resources (video clips, lessons, etc.) within Discovery Education to assist in teaching this standard. Click on the Reporting Subcategory to group standards by complexity. By grouping standards by subcategory, trends can be observed. Example, are students answering all “Easy” questions correctly, but missing all “Hard” questions? Interactive Item Summary Report
