In the case of the New York State exams, there are eighteen “task models” used when designing questions. For example, a student may be asked to evaluate and classify (identify) best use of a source or to respond based on knowledge of historical context. Principles of reliability assessment are applied here, such as when students are asked to identify point of view, purpose, context, bias, format of source, location of source in time and/or place, and/or intended audience of sources using background knowledge. [Read More at the Blog] My custom was to assign a stimulus-based multiple-choice at the end of every unit starting in October. At first, students find these very difficult. I use a z-score standardization procedure to adjust the scores so as not to bomb out their GPA while they are just learning. It is a great way to score students in tasks they are not yet proficient at. Use the free Innovation standardized scoring calculator here. This product is a stimulus-based multiple-choice assessments in the format of the new New York State Regents examination in Global History and Geography II. 9 questions Each Product includes: _key = answer key _test = test for print passcode.pdf = for online access and subscriber test bank import Documents are in image format in the folders.

Introduction to Personal Finance: Dive into MONEY! This lesson serves as the kickstart to my personal finance module. While it's primarily an introductory session, it can seamlessly fit into any personal finance curriculum. The core theme explores the complexities of a barter-based economy and delves into the reasons we pivot to using money, accompanied by a precise definition of money. It's a dynamic and captivating lesson. It includes a light-hearted skit, where students, and optionally the teacher, illustrate the pitfalls of bartering. Following the skit, the spotlight shifts to understanding the essence of money and its significance. With hands-on demonstrations, students get a chance to actively participate, ensuring they remain engrossed and involved throughout the session. What is included? -The Goat Farmer and Chicken Farmer skit (props not included :-) -a power point that will define money and the challenges of a barter economy -a Federal Reserve bank publication titled: "MONEY", this is a must have resource when teaching about money! I use this resource in my 7th grade classroom, but it could be used in almost any middle or high school class. This has been a successful lesson in my economics class for almost 20 years.
