I think that the tests are extremely too easy. I believe in order to correct this we should increase the rigor of our test. They tend to focus more on vocabulary and not truly on application which important to mastery for the SOL. Maybe there should be a separate multiple choice for the honors then the general.]]> 2018-08-28 17:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dmperry/6cdii1s2j3yl/wish/275966369 https://padlet.com/dmperry/6cdii1s2j3yl/wish/275966478 Add higher level thinking questions.
