Performance tasks are assessments that require students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world scenarios or complex problems. These tasks often involve research, analysis, creativity, and presentation of findings.
Imagine performance tasks as challenges in a video game. Instead of just answering multiple-choice questions, you have to navigate through obstacles, solve puzzles, and use your skills strategically to complete missions successfully.
Authentic Assessment: Assessments that mirror real-life situations or tasks relevant to the subject being studied.
Rubric: A scoring guide that outlines specific criteria for evaluating student work on performance tasks.
Collaboration: Working together with others on a task or project, often involving sharing ideas, dividing responsibilities, and achieving common goals.
