[quote=Anonymous][quote]Also, in what way does a bad question on a Smarter Balanced test mean that the Common Core standards are bad? [/quote] Actually, that is a factor that is considered when validating tests that go with instructional materials. ( I worked on test validation for tests that accompanied instructional materials for adults. ) When all the students missed a question, there are a number of possibilities for the problem. Obviously, a bad test question is one of them. However, sometimes it is not the reason. The evaluator cannot assume that it is just the question. [b]Another consideration is that the standard is poorly written and not clear to the test developer. [/b] The material may not be appropriate for the student—i.e. he may not have the skills required for it. There could also be problems with the instructional materials. Lazy validators will just toss the question and not figure out the reason for the problem. [/quote]
