Reliability
Reliability is determined by how consistent the results remain over repeated uses of an
assessment procedure (Bookhart & Nitko, 2015). In order to show the reliability of these
assessment questions students will be pre-assessed with the same concept questions before the
unit standards are taught. Pre-assessment questions should be either identical or representative
of the questions the students will be given to assess full understanding on a post test. Pre-
assessment data should show any student misconceptions or lack of understanding that will guide
instruction. If students are assessed in class using same types of questions and even less formal
questions and show understanding yet do not do well on summative assessments, then the test
items should be checked for any discrepancies or poorly written questions.
Validity
Validity is determined by the comparison of the assessment results and your interpretations and
uses of the data collected (Bookhart & Nitko, 2015). The test questions assess how students
apply their knowledge of adding and subtracting decimals from classroom discussions and
practice. The choices do reveal if the students have set up the problems correctly. Some choices
are the answers students would come up with if they did not line up place values correctly.
Students could then be retaught the concept and more practice given to correct any
misconceptions.
Differentiation of Instruction
Differentiated instruction is taking into account the different student needs, their varying
abilities, interests and motivations and then using different, specific, and well thought out
instructional practices to meet them at their level. (Brookhart & Nitko, 2015). During
instruction, students will receive different levels of differentiation based on their needs in class.
Within the confines of this mathematical concept students who need higher levels of
differentiation will be in small groups with a smaller teacher-to-student ratio. The need for
differentiation will be assessed using less formal formative assessments while instructing such as
guided questions, modeling, and whiteboard use to show understanding. After students with
misconceptions are identified more one-to-one instruction can take place. If students have
documented modifications, then those would determine things such as removal of a choice,
extended time, or questions read to them.

Reliability
Reliability is the degree to which students results remain consistent over replications of an
assessment procedure. (Bookhart & Nitko, 2015). In order to show the reliability of these
assessment questions students will be pre-assessed with the same concept questions before the
unit standards are taught. The questions used for the pre-assessment do not need to be essay or
short answer to determine any prior understanding. The pre-assessment questions could be
multiple choice questions to determine understanding. The students will then have short
formative assessments during the instruction on parts of the standards being addressed. The
formative assessments will then show if students have any misconceptions that need to be
addressed with re-teaching. Data will be collected along the way so when students take the
summative (post) assessment if there were any misconceptions or material that may not have
been learned. However, those misconceptions should have been noticed and proper
understanding clarified before the full summative has been given.
Validity
Validity is determined by the comparison of the assessment results and your interpretations and
uses of the data collected (Bookhart & Nitko, 2015). There are several ways to strengthen the
FRIT 7236: KA1 McFatridge 10/16/16
validity of this assessment. The first is that each question should be graded for all students
before the next question is assessed. This will help alleviate any issues such as the halo effect.
Since there are two teachers in this grade level that teach math, the teachers should be able to
grade the other teacher's class to alleviate any issues that preconceived notions about a student
could cause. The teachers could also make sure to cover the names of the students as well has
having a set scoring rubric to use when grading.

place value and adding and subtracting decimals.

Validity is determined by the comparison of the assessment results and your interpretations and

remain constant pre-, during, and post-instruction should strengthen the validity of the
assessment results. The assessment items do not have to be identical but should closely represent
what students will have to produce in a summative assessment. If students are only given short
calculation problems, or only multiple choice items, they will not have enough exposure to
answer more extended response questions that they will have to apply information learned. The
results from extended response questions would not show learning growth since the students
were not properly prepared to discuss how they arrive at answers.
