What Is a Performance Assessment?
7/2/2013
2
An assessment based on observation and judgment. Students engage in an activity that requires them to apply a performance skill or create a product and we judge its quality.
Has two parts: a task and a scoring guide
From Classroom Assessment for Student Learning: Doing it Right – Using it Well, Stiggins, Arter, Chappuis, and Chappuis
Performance Task Assessments
Art: Paint a picture or make a sculpture
Reasoning and persuasive writing: Imagine that it is 1858 and you make a special trip to hear Lincoln and Douglas debating during their campaigns for the Senate. Write an essay in which you explain the most important ideas and issues.
Science: Carry out the steps in the scientific method.
Collaboration: Work productively in a group on a task
Performance Task Examples
7/2/2013
3
To assess performance skills targets such as how to effectively conduct a job interview, how to represent the relationship between division and multiplication, and giving an oral presentation
Assessing knowledge targets such as part of a plant or important history facts, is not a good match for performance tasks

Smarter Balanced Performance Task: Essay Scoring Criteria
How Are Authorizers Responding to This Change to Common Core?
Naomi Rubin DeVeaux
Deputy Director
DC Public Charter School Board

Authorizers Are Responsible to Make Sure That Schools Are:
Educating students to read, write, do math,
and learn other academic content at high levels
Following the state and federal law, including
IDEA for students with disabilities
Attaining their stated mission
Achieving their charter goals
The Charter Agreement
Greater Autonomy for Higher Accountability
In order for the authorizer to advocate for and
protect charter autonomy, schools must achieve
high results, including on state assessments that
will very soon be measuring student mastery of
Common Core State Standards.
7/2/2013

Assessment and Accountability--Defined
Assessments are the tools that directly
measure student mastery of the standards.
Accountability is the responsibility charter
schools have to educate their students and
report their progress to the authorizer and
public in exchange for their increased
autonomy.
First and foremost, you are a school and your promise to your families is to teach students how to read and write in English, and do math.
A common state assessment is the only measure the public has to compare schools serving similar grades.
How you do this is up to you, that you do this is what is important to an authorizer.

Teaching to the test: For those who have been teaching to a basic-skills and knowledge test—spending major time on test-prep, without significant thought about the standards behind the test — will have to do some serious heavy lifting and may not be ready…
Teaching the standards: Those who are currently assessing students using items that are aligned to the performance-based examples we have shown you today, are on track to be prepared.

We do what we measure—the authorizer and the State plays a role in defining this
DC’s charter school Performance Management Framework (PMF) emphasizes student grade-level attainment and annual growth.
The test we use is the state assessment and we plan to use PARCC or Smarter Balance, when they are in place.
We also take into consideration persistency and attendance rates.
