  2. Which type of parent-teacher communication is MOST effective for building ongoing, trusting relationships according to best practice?

    Answer: Maintaining regular, two-way communication through multiple channels

    Research supports regular, proactive, and bidirectional communication as the most effective strategy for engaging families and building trust.

    Answer: To compare a student's performance to a representative national sample

    Norm-referenced tests rank student performance relative to a norming sample, yielding percentile ranks and standard scores rather than mastery levels.

  7. A teacher integrates technology by having students create digital presentations to demonstrate content knowledge. According to the SAMR model, this MOST likely represents which level?

    Answer: Modification

    Modification occurs when technology allows significant task redesign; creating a digital presentation redesigns how students demonstrate knowledge compared to a paper report.
