Design Performance-Based Assessments
Create performance-based assessments that focus on what students can do with their knowledge as opposed to traditional assessment that focus on what students know.
In a performance-based assessment, students should be able to:
Apply their knowledge
Create something that demonstrates their understanding
Use their knowledge as evidence to take a stand
