Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Suggested Response: These sixth grade teachers obviously don't have much time to use standardized test scores to alter instruction this year and help students learn skills and knowledge they lack. If they identify a specific deficiency that can be incorporated in a unit in the next five weeks, they may gear their teaching toward including the skill. They might also use the scores to identify areas of deficiency for individuals. Teachers might suggest remediation in summer school or recommend tutoring and resources to help individuals make up deficiencies. These teachers might also use the scores to identify mismatches between district curricula and district testing. This step likely involves meeting with administrators and suggesting changes.
