An alternate to high stakes testing!
• Performance based assessments:
• A teacher-learner process that allows the student to use her own skills to learn new skills.
• Example: KCCT removed the Arts & Humanities portion from standardized test -replace with a performance assessment. A child will learn and play a piece of music based on already constructed knowledge/ability.
For the young child
• A young child may create a masterpiece from constructed knowledge of colors, shapes, texture.
