The ToddCast - Performance Assessment
Performance Assessment - When it comes to measuring what students have learned, there are more choices than the traditional assessments of multiple choice. There are performance assessments which include but are not limited to oral presentations, journals, exhibitions, role playing, debates/speeches, essays, interviews, and research papers. These performance assessments allow you to measure difficult to capture 21st century skills such as collaboration, public speaking, critical thinking, and problem solving. They also are of higher interest for students so the learning will be more enduring.
