MAP Item Formats
➢Multiple Choice (MC)
➢Multi-Select Response (MS)
➢Constructed-Response (CR)➢Short-Answer (SA)➢Technology Enhanced (TE)
R.J. Stiggins: Student-Centered AssessmentAbout Multiple Choice Items:
•Written clearly in a “sharply focused manner”•A question with only one best answer
**DESE says item distractors should be plausible solutions based on common errors or misconceptions.
•Write items consistent with grade-level reading expectations• Eliminate clues leading to the correct answer•Make response options brief
About Multi-Select Response Items:
• Written clearly in a “sharply focused manner”
• A question with multiple correct answers often scored as “all or nothing”
• Create items with more than four options
• Write items consistent with grade-level reading expectations
• Eliminate clues leading a the correct answer
• Make response options brief
Constructed Response Items:
➢Students generate a response to a question
➢Items have multiple solution paths
➢Students must create a response that demonstrates an integrated understanding
➢Items match level of rigor of “unwrapped” standard
➢Some form of scoring guide/rubric is required
6.GM.A.1: Find the area of polygons by composing or decomposing the shapes into rectangles or triangles and apply these techniques to solve real-world problems.

Quote from Larry Ainsworth, assessment expert:
“The one true purpose of educational assessment [common assessment] is to correctly determine student understanding
of the standards and then to use those results to inform, modify, adjust, enrich, and differentiate instruction to meet
the learning needs of all students.”
