4.01 Prototype Assessment Items
Note: These items illustrate the types of items used in the item bank for this objective.
All items have been written to match the cognitive process of the remember verb in the
objective. Questions require students to recall terms or words related to job seeking
and keeping. These exact questions will not be used on the secured test, but questions
in similar formats will be used.
These assessment items may be used as prototypes by teachers and students to
generate similar items to comprise formative assessments for you classroom. This
strategy is especially helpful during the field test year when classroom item banks are
not available. Results of formative assessment should be used to diagnose levels of
mastery, determine if re-teaching is needed, and guide further instruction.
