Different from tools to evaluate student learning summatively, they are meant to be used by teachers as a part of the instructional process. Some features of these Quizlets are: The Quizlets are fully aligned with the Benchmarks. Each Quizlet includes a variety of item types: multiple-choice (MC), multiple-response (MR), and short response (SR). For benchmarks that are best measured with a complex student task, Performance-based (PB) Quizlets were also created. The Quizlets include scaffolds for student’s graphic organizers, definitions, illustrations – to enable them to demonstrate skills. The Quizlets were created using Microsoft® Word so that they can be modified. Item stems and graphic organizers can be used to create additional assessments that are aligned to the benchmarks. Quizlets can be used to identify benchmarks where students are struggling or identify individual students who need additional learning opportunities.
