Creating Individual Written Performance Assessments of Knowledge and Thinking
Follow the steps below to enhance literacy integration in your project.
STEP 1: Determine Written Performance Assessment Type and Content |
|
Written Performance Assessments are an individual, written performance assessment. It assesses written communication and knowledge and thinking. Embedded in a project or PrBL unit, as a benchmark or an individual final product. At the early elementary level, may include drawing/dictating/invented spelling. To start, think about the important content and literacy skills you'd like to assess. Secondary teachers: Then determine if this Written Performance Assessment is a College Ready Assessment. If it's a CRA, it aligns with two of our college readiness aligned rubrics: the appropriate Knowledge and Thinking rubric and Written Communication. If it doesn't elicit all the outcomes on those the rubrics, then it's not a CRA. |
