This document offers many of the insights and comments of Maryland elementary school teachers who scored the 1993 Maryland School Performance Assessment Program (MSPAP) tests. The MSPAP covers reading, writing, social studies, mathematics, and science and is administered to Maryland students in grades 3, 5, and 8. Comments and observations are organized by content areas in two sections: "Perceptions" (impressions respondents would like to share with other teachers about student performance); and "Actions" (what the teacher anticipates doing differently based on his/her impressions from scoring the tests). Each entry is followed by grade level, in parentheses, identifying the grade level responses that were scored by the teacher who provided the comment. However, most comments are relevant to teachers across grade levels. Some general perceptions included: understanding multi-task directions was problematic; children need to be taught to be more specific and to think; and many students were nervous or frightened. Some general actions teachers intended to take based on their experience scoring tests were to seek opportunities for students to discuss and evaluate situations and arrive at conclusions, to teach test-taking skills, and to get a list of outcomes MSPAP is measuring. An appendix contains a copy of the form that solicited teacher's comments. (JB)
