Evaluating Teachers’ Written Tests

As a veteran teacher, you have been asked to evaluate the first-year teachers on the quality of their created written tests so as to help them to improve upon these tests for the following year.

Using the concepts that you have learned up to this point in class, create an evaluation form that you could fill out after reviewing a teacher’s created tests and then could share with that teacher. You will not actually be filling out this evaluation form—you are just to create the form itself.

Referral Information and the Interview Process

A court system refers a person who was found to be over the legal limit for drinking to Alcoholics Anonymous.

A doctor who has a patient exhibiting symptoms of methamphetamine addiction refers the patient to an addictions counselor.

A probation officer working with an individual who has a history of illegal gambling refers to the individual to an addictions professional specializing in gambling.

Referral is a central aspect of the addictions profession. Addictions professionals often both accept referrals and administer them. Few individuals truly begin therapy as a “blank slate.” Addictions professionals need to know how to integrate referral information into the interview to maximize interview time and to tailor the questions to the individual’s unique history and background of behaviors. Like any profession, the addictions profession uses certain terminology in assessments settings to describe observable behaviors, which also aids the integration of referral information for desired results.

In this Assignment, you review a case study that includes the type of information typical in a referral situation. You apply professional terminology to summarize client status and create interview questions.

To prepare:

Review the Learning Resources, including the following:

• The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Substance Abuse Treatment

• Create 10 interview questions integrating the referral information from the case study provided. Provide your rationale for your choice of questions.

• Answer all components in the assignment as there are usually several. These can serve as your headings in APA format.
