Performance-based assessment has long been a staple of education systems. Get up to speed with this PE-oriented guide. This text will help you: develop assessments and implement them into your curriculum, making the assessment process a natural part of instruction; provide feedback to students so they know what they have accomplished and what they still need to do; and use a variety of tools, including open-response questions, game play and progressive assessments, to measure student learning. The authors, who have over three decades of experience teaching and assessing in public schools, describe the various types of performance-based assessments and show how to implement the assessments, using numerous models as examples to be adapted to your own situations. This new edition will help you develop authentic assessments and get the most out of the assessment experience. And in doing so, it will help your students experience success. Please note: this book relates to the American curriculum. However, for those countries without a definitive curriculum, this book might be useful in creating assessments and implementing education programmes.
