Performance Based Assessments

Your assessment should be a performance-based assessment, defined as a complex scenario that provides students an opportunity to demonstrate what they know and are able to do, in an authentic real-world context or a modeled real-world context. The assessment should be linked to your statement of inquiry and provide varied opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and skills.

The summative assessment must:

• provide evidence of student understanding through authentic performance (not simply the recall of factual knowledge).
• rigorous tasks that embrace a variety of assessment strategies to allow students to demonstrate their learning in many ways.

Assessment philosophy recognizes the importance of the product and the process of learning, and the development of ATL skills is critical for students to achieve at the highest levels.

Assessment tasks may include:

• Compositions—musical, physical, artistic
• Creation of solutions or products in response to problems
• Essays
• Examinations
• Investigations
• Research
• Performances
• Presentations—verbal (oral or written), graphic (through various media)
