Overview: |
Jay will present ideas from his latest book, Designing Authentic Performance Tasks and Projects (ASCD, 2020). This session will explore a variety of practical and proven tools for the development of performance tasks to engage students in meaningful learning and for assessing important learning outcomes (e.g., 21st century skills) that often fall “through the cracks” of conventional testing. A compilation of excellent web-based resources will be presented. In addition, instructional implications and the role of formative assessment will be examined. |
|
EXPECTED OUTCOMES |
Participation in this workshop will enable participants to:
- Identify the characteristics of quality performance tasks;
- Use a framework for designing authentic performance tasks for the classroom, school, and district;
- Identify web and print resources to support the design and use of performance tasks to enhance instruction and assessment;
- Apply a variety of on-going, formative assessments in the classroom.
