For Teachers and Administrators

 

 

When it comes to student performance, teachers typically ask these five questions:

 

  • What should students be   able to do?

  • Which assessment(s) will indicate if students have    met the standard?

  • What does high quality on  these assessments look like?

  • How will student performance be evaluated and measured?

  • How will students and teachers use data and feedback to drive instruction?

Performance Mastery answers these questions by  creating an assessment for learning system, based in Quality Management/Continuous Improvement.

  • Develops formative and authentic, standards based summative performance assessments

  • Monitors progress on performance assessments   scored with a rubric as well as assessments scored without a rubric

  • Engages students in designing clear evaluation tools

  • Clearly communicates performance learning goals

  • Improves students' meta-cognitive skills through the practice of self-assessment

  • Enables students to engage in their own learning progress data, so they see exactly what to work on
