School is looking into Scantron to provide a solution for Common Formative Assessments - anyone have any feedback/experience with?

We use scantrons at my school and I love it. I can only think of one thing. If you work in a high school, an administrator or faculty member should have a long talk with the person who is selling your school the scantrons and the machines to grade the scantrons.

This faculty member, should ask them for a list of things that, based on their experience, kids come up with, to make believe, that they can get a perfect score. For example, couple of kids at my school believed that if they wrote their answers on the scantrons, and the put Chap Stick on the scantrons, the machine will mess up and they will get a perfect score. In my school, one of the assistant principal made a list of these things that the kids thought they could do in order to get a perfect score.

He sent an email to the teachers, including the list and a paragraph, saying that the kids could not get a perfect score by doing these things. It helped, because the teachers will look for these things when they were giving a test and walking around the room. Just another thing, your school should make sure that teachers know how to use the scantrons and how to grade the scantrons when they give a test.

For example, how many answers per questions are allowed?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
