ASSESSMENT
A well-designed performance
assessment helps the student to see
the connections between the
knowledge, skills, and abilities they
have learned from the classroom,

Following steps will guide you in developing a
meaningful performance assessment process and
product that will match to the desired learning
outcomes
1.1 DEFINING THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSMENT

provides information on what students need to be

process so that the proper kinds of performance criteria
and scoring procedures can be established.

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS
PRIMARILY USE FOUR TYPES OF

PRODUCTS
Deep Understanding
The idea is to involve students
meaningfully in hands-on activities for
extended period of time so that their
understanding is rich and more extensive.

are asked to make a decision or other
outcome, such as a letter to the editor or
school news letter

Students are required to
demonstrate communication,
presentation, and psychomotor
skills.
