New National Core Arts Standards envision students learning all 3 Artistic Processes in all classes
But the relative emphasis on each Process varies,depending on class type

Cornerstone Assessments
• Curriculum-embedded
• Engage students in applying their knowledge and skills in an authentic and relevant context
• Anchor the curriculum around the most important performances that we want learners to be able to do (on their own)

dev.CTcurriculum.org enables any user to:• Create standards-based units with embedded assessment tasks;• Upload and insert links to files in various formats, including video;• Make units public, private, or accessible only to designated users;• Assign others varied levels of permission (access) that allows them to –
– provide threaded feedback and suggestions for improvement;– participate in editing; and– upload student work to the task and enter their scores.
• Select benchmark (anchor) student work to illustrate levels of achievement on units/tasks;
• Assign work – specifically or randomly – to scorers for blind scoring, a crucial step in benchmarking and calibration processes;
• Manage groups of scorers, monitoring which have completed their assigned task and communicating with those who have not;
• Perform basic statistical analyses on scores and scorers, to identify outliers and determine inter-rater reliability; and
• Clone existing units/tasks and scoring scales for future use or editing.
