14 Regarding Competitive Advantage If you look at India, China, and Russia… even if you discount 90 percent of the people there as uneducated farmers…you still end up with about 300 million people who are educated. Thats bigger than the U.S. work force.

35 One of the challenges in teaching is designing, and to be a good designer you have to think about what you're trying to accomplish and craft a combination of the content and the instructional methods, but also the assessment. Grant Wiggins, co-author of Understanding by Design"

36 Characteristics of Performance Assessments Students as active participants, not passive selectors of a right answer Students as active participants, not passive selectors of a right answer Outcomes should be identified and should guide the design of the task Outcomes should be identified and should guide the design of the task Student activities should match the objectives and allow student demonstration of mastery of intended outcomes Student activities should match the objectives and allow student demonstration of mastery of intended outcomes Students should actively apply knowledge and skills to reality based situations and scenarios Students should actively apply knowledge and skills to reality based situations and scenarios Clear set of criteria should be available to help judge the proficiency of student response Clear set of criteria should be available to help judge the proficiency of student response

40 Essential Questions Essential questions are broad in scope and are relevant beyond the classroom experience. A good essential question should cultivate a sense of curiosity and motivate student to seek answers. Essential questions are broad in scope and are relevant beyond the classroom experience. A good essential question should cultivate a sense of curiosity and motivate student to seek answers. They should be open-ended and thought provoking and not answerable with a simple yes or no (Wiggins & McTigue, 2005). A strong essential question provides a link to prior knowledge as well as gives personal meaning to the student. They should be open-ended and thought provoking and not answerable with a simple yes or no (Wiggins & McTigue, 2005). A strong essential question provides a link to prior knowledge as well as gives personal meaning to the student. For the performance task, one and a maximum of two should be present. These questions bring about student inquiry. They should help set the focus for the performance task. They should be compelling and promote higher order thinking skills.

The performance task is an authentic, real-world problem or scenario that provides students the opportunity to demonstrate understanding of critical content, concepts, and processes. The first four sections are concerned with building an appropriate context in which students can operate. The products should compliment the context. Decisions will need to be made by educators in terms of which products may be required, which products are part of student choice and differentiation, and which products will be scored formally. The answers to these questions may vary by system, school, classroom, and/or student. The first four sections are concerned with building an appropriate context in which students can operate.
