Design Team Workshop: From Competencies to Performance Assessments
November 17, 2014: 4:00pm–7:00pm
Our Essential Question
How do we translate our pathway outcomes into high-quality performance assessments?
Our Learning Target
I can explain the concept of a competency and can identify the competencies on which my school’s performance assessment system is based.
Our Product
By the end of the session, our team will have a list of measurable competencies to which we are designing the performance assessments that will populate student portfolios.
