evaluating teachers written tests

As a veteran teacher, you have been asked to evaluate the first-year teachers on the quality of their created written tests so as to help them to improve upon these tests for the following year.

Using the concepts that you have learned up to this point in class, create an evaluation form that you could fill out after reviewing a teacher’s created tests and then could share with that teacher. You will not actually be filling out this evaluation form—you are just to create the form itself.

The evaluation form should consist of the following sections:

Section One:

General criteria that you would expect to be met in order for a written test of any kind to be effective. Please have at least five criteria listed for this section.

Section Two:

Criteria that you would expect to be met on essay test items. Please have at least three criteria listed for this section.

Section Three:

Criteria that you would expect to be met on true/false test items. Please have at least three criteria for this section.

Section Four:

Criteria that you would expect to be met on multiple choice test items. Please have at least three criteria for this section.

Section Five:

Criteria that you would expect to be met on short answer test items. Please have at least three criteria for this section.

Please Note: Chapters Six and Seven contain helpful information for this evaluation form, particularly the information contained within the green boxes scattered throughout the chapters and then elaborated upon within the text of the chapters.
