SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Malang City is a school which is located on Jl Letjen Sutoyo No 68 Malang City. This school has great potential and has the opportunity to carry out two tier multiple choice question-making service activities because the school is the school's top priority (partner). The problem faced is that teachers have never compiled Two Tier Multiple Choice questions, especially science teachers. The science teacher said that he was always prepared questions for student evaluation instruments, either formative, sub-summative or summative, but the questions that were arranged were still conventional. The teacher said that he was not yet skilled in compiling HOTS questions, let alone the type of Two Tier Multiple Choice that he had never known. Activities to be carried out are socialization of teacher training programs, pre-test teacher assistance. Teachers have increased their abilities regarding the preparation of Two Tier Multiple Choice questions. The teacher-made question products have 30 sets or 60 items, and have been tested with the results of the questions that qualify as good questions

A survey of itinerant teachers in Texas found that, despite the numerous shortcomings of the job, the respondents believed there were many advantages. The respondents further identified the much needed ability to adjust to change, to put things in perspective, to modify their expectations, and to exercise a healthy sense of humor. This article details these shortcomings and advantages, suggests strategies for overcoming obstacles, and discusses the implications of the findings for administrators of schools and personnel of teacher-training programs.

The findings from a survey of public school programs for behaviorally disordered children are presented suggesting that a majority considered their theoretical focus to be behavioral. If a majority of university teacher-training programs in behavior disorder also consider their primary theoretical focus to be behavioral as previous research suggested, then the two would appear to complement each other. Another portion of the survey, however, indicated that the pragmatic approaches to treatment found in public school behavior disorders programs cover techniques reflecting a wide variety of theoretical models. Consequently, there exists a mismatch which prevents maximum effectiveness in both teacher training and service delivery for behaviorally disordered children. It was concluded that university teacher training programs should reflect a more eclectic stance by carefully synthesizing assorted theoretical components into a composite which meets the diverse pragmatic demands of public school programs for behaviorally disordered children.1
