Performance Assessments
How will you measure learning?
Collaboration, communication, and work ethic are best assessed both formatively and summatively through performance assessments: authentic demonstrations of these skills. Educators will need support in the creation of these assessments. Consider including your local business partnerships to see what human capital they have to co-create and/or facilitate performance assessments.
