Performance-Based Assessment
Students are provided with an opportunity to develop possible solutions to industry-based problems by applying pathway content knowledge, skills, and strategies. Students present their work in a formal manner to industry professionals and members of the community.
Performance Based Assessments can be done in-person, through a virtual platform, or a combination of both under the direct supervision of a teacher or approved school staff member (if students are underage).

Examples of Performance-Based Assessment
Examples of Performance-Based Assessment
Typically one-time experiences at school or through a huakaʻi or field trip to build student awareness of the wide range of career, college, and community options available to them
Exploration activities go beyond brief exposure of awareness-building experiences by extending the experience through multiple interactions or more rigorous student participation
Preparation level experiences strengthen student content knowledge and skills through coursework linked to extended interaction with community and industry professionals
Training experiences are extended interactions that require the application of the learned technical, employability, and academic knowledge in real-world industry settings
