  2. Performance-Based Assessments Coursework State Assessment Performance assessments are real-life experiences that require cross-cutting skills, including communication, problem solving, creativity, and teamwork. Students have multiple opportunities to master skills and complete their performance-based assessments. The state assessment requires a demonstration of the essential literacy and numeracy skills necessary for success. Students have multiple opportunities to retake the test, are given full credit for improvement, and can substitute other approved assessments. Coursework requires that students successfully complete at least 20 courses in core content areas including math, science, technology, reading, social studies, and the arts. Students have the opportunity to accelerate learning and make up missing courses.
