Which of the following is a sign that you’re NOT young anymore?
A. You choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
B. You play connect the dots on your liver spots.
C. Getting the mail is one of the highlights of your day.
D. You sprinkle tenderizer on your applesauce.
E. You look both ways before crossing a room.

At our Multiple-Choice Retreat, we’ll reveal the answer to this question from Ron Berk’s Test of Testwiseness that has puzzled generations for years. 3M teaching fellow and multiple-choice expert, Dr. Anthony Marini, will also help you develop your skills in writing and refining multiple-choice questions.

The hands-on retreat will explore a variety of topics, including:
-Best practices in item writing
-Techniques for constructing items that target higher cognitive levels of learning
-Using item analysis results to refine and enhance your tests

A pizza lunch will be provided.
