Which of the following is a sign that you’re NOT young anymore?
-You choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
-You play connect the dots on your liver spots.
-Getting the mail is one of the highlights of your day.
-You sprinkle tenderizer on your applesauce.
-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

Lunch will be provided.
