We have just taken our first round of performance assessments to end the first unit. Initial scores on all seven standards shall be entered as soon as absent students have made up the tests and I have them scored.
It is important to remember that for many students, this is their first time taking this type of test. Performance assessments are quite different from the typical paper-and-pencil tests they are used to taking. They are given scenarios and areWith the exception of the cultural information we have been studying, I am assessing skills rather than specific pieces of knowledge. Students may not yet be performing at a proficient level, and that's okay. It's not expected yet. It's important to keep in mind that they will have multiple performance assessments on each standard, and I will be looking for growth between now and the end of the trimester.
