  2. Why are we doing this again?

  8. performance-based assessments

  9. WHY PERFORMANCE BASED ASSESSMENTS? THEY PROVIDE A WAY TO ASSESS SKILLS AND DISPOSITIONS AS WELL AS CONTENT. STUDENTS LEARN THROUGH THE PROCESS AS THEY ENGAGE IN IT. PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS ALLOW US TO KNOW OUR STUDENTS IN WAYS WE SIMPLY DID NOT BEFORE.

  10. WHY PERFORMANCE BASED ASSESSMENTS? THEY PROVIDE A WAY TO ASSESS HIGHER-ORDER COGNITIVE SKILLS, REQUIRING STUDENTS TO TRANSFER THEIR LEARNING TO NEW SITUATIONS AND/OR PROBLEMS. THEY ALLOW US TO ASSESS STANDARDS THAT CAN'T BE MEASURED WELL OR SOMETIMES AT ALL THROUGH A TRADITIONAL STANDARDIZED TEST.
