Our Ready-to-Use Standards and Performance Assessments series of performance assessment manuals is designed to promote active, performance-based learning in the classroom. Each manual is a comprehensive guide to designing and using performance assessments.

Each Manual Includes

Ten or more performance assessments for each grade and course (K-12)

• All related to specific outcomes/standards
• All with specific end products
• All requiring higher-order thinking
• All with detailed descriptions
• All with grading criteria and difficulty level defined

Each Performance Assessment Includes

An End-Product Students Must Produce

Each performance assessment states a specific end-product students must produce. To assist teachers in developing their own assessments, we provide a list of more than 120 end-products, such as:

Higher-Order Thinking Skills Students Must Use

Each performance assessment requires students to use higher-order thinking. To assist teachers in developing assessments which require higher-order thinking, the manuals contain a list of more than 50 words for the higher-order thinking skills, such as:

A Detailed Description of the Performance Assessment

Each performance assessment contains a detailed description of the assessment, which includes:

• A detailed description of the end-product students must produce
• Procedures students must follow
• Timeliness for completing the assessment
• Materials needed and other considerations

Grading Criteria Students Must Meet

Each performance assessment contains criteria for teachers to use in grading the assessment. The criteria include general expectations such as format, organization, and mechanics, and also specific expectations, those things directly related to the end-product of the assessment. From the grading criteria, teachers develop a rubric which is given to students to use as a guide in producing the end-product. The rubric is also used to grade the end-product.
