This workshop takes participants step-by-step through the process of understanding, writing and analyzing open response questions.

Participants will become familiar with the kinds and parts of open response questions and learn how to select the most appropriate process verbs for the task at hand. This session emphasizes the notion of writing the assessment first (via writing units of study), so that one can intentionally provide students with the opportunity to apply what they have learned to a new situation.
