PPR Practice Test Questions and Answers

100% Pass


Mr. Cates notices that his students are timid during group problem-solving activities. He wants to

encourage his students to take more risks and demonstrate more creativity. Which of the following

statements could he use that would best encourage this? - ANSWER✔✔-"There is no single correct

answer to this problem, and every group could have a different, correct answer."


(If students are made aware that the teacher does not expect a single correct answer, they are more

likely to take a risk with the understanding that their answer will not be automatically chastised for being

incorrect. This is a positive way to encourage student involvement.)


A sixth-grade mathematics teacher has created a math module where students listen to auditory

prompts and work out the mathematical solutions. One of the students is hearing-impaired and the

teacher schedules a meeting with the special education teacher to discuss how the student can

participate. What would be the most appropriate request for the mathematics teacher to make of the

special education teacher? - ANSWER✔✔-Help arrange resources in the classroom prior to the module

to maximize participation for the hearing-impaired student.


(This is the best option as it will accommodate the instruction within the general instructional setting.)

This is beneficial as some students may not perform well in a certain assessment, but they could better

demonstrate their knowledge using other assessments.)


A checklist would likely be most useful and appropriate for assessing which of the following goals in

elementary? - ANSWER✔✔-monitoring students' use of science safety skills during a lab


(A checklist is best for assessing that skills are used.)


Mr. Heath is concerned about Brandon's recent academic decline and contacts Brandon's parent to

discuss the situation. Brandon's mother informs Mr. Heath that Brandon's father has recently passed

away and Brandon has been having trouble coping with the loss. During the conversation, Mr. Heath

should focus his comments on: - ANSWER✔✔-how to best promote Brandon's academic progress during

this emotionally-straining time.


(The teacher should focus on Brandon's academic performance. This is the purpose of the meeting and

in a professional environment, the teacher must stay within the professional confines of the teacher-

parent-student relationship.)


During the units and most of the lessons, a teacher provides students the time to reflect on and assess

what they have learned. What is the best reason for this instructional strategy? - ANSWER✔✔-The

students' learning is reinforced, and teachers receive information on student learning.


(For instructional purposes, this is the best choice because it reinforces learning by having students

actively consider what was taught. In this manner, teachers can also assess student learning.)

A senior high school teacher notices a student's grades are falling. The teacher pulls the student aside

after class to address the issue. The student informs the teacher that he plays in a band that performs at

local restaurants, he has not had time to study, and he even might drop out of school because he is

making a significant amount of money. The teacher is best able to discuss the situation if he realizes

many high school students: - ANSWER✔✔-do not think about the long-term consequences of their

actions.


(High school students tend not to think about the long-term consequences of decisions. Thus, at this

age, they are more prone to make brash decisions based on short-term gains rather than well-thought-

out decisions.)


In an attempt to keep parents abreast of student participation and the responsible use of time, grades,

discipline concerns, etc., a new teacher, Mrs. Parker, plans to communicate with timely reports. Which of

the following would be the most effective way of accomplishing this goal? - ANSWER✔✔-She emails

individual grade reports addressing these categories for each student halfway through the required

grading and communication period.


(This is the best answer because it would be efficient and the parents would appreciate the brevity and

conciseness. It also would help if the teacher wrote something positive in the report at least once or

twice during a grading period.)

principle to be followed in computer skills instruction is that: - ANSWER✔✔-computer skills should be

taught in the context of the current instructional concepts.


(Computer skills for first-grade students should focus on incorporating new computer skills in the context

of class instruction. At this age, students will typically be familiar with computers and their functionality.)


Which of the following is the most important reason for a third-grade teacher to incorporate group

activities into classroom instruction? - ANSWER✔✔-Group activities develop a cooperative learning

environment and encourage students to develop responsible, positive attitudes towards working with

peers.


(This is the best option. With small children, group work allows students the experience to work

cooperatively.)


An eighth-grade teacher wants to improve how the students function in small groups. What is the best

strategy for improving the functionality of the small groups? - ANSWER✔✔-After the students have

completed the small group activity, the teacher should conduct an evaluation with the group to review

(Receiving feedback from students allows the teacher to get an idea of how the students perceive

themselves in small groups, and the teacher can use the information to tweak incentives or group

structures.)
