Next-generation assessments rely on the use of performance tasks as a key tool to measure student learning and facilitate more engagement between students and their teachers and peers.

Performance assessment provides unique insights into students’ knowledge and skills. When teachers understand the teaching and learning implications of performance assessment, opportunities for more rigorous interactions and authentic engagement can be achieved.

This webinar focuses on performance assessment and connecting summative assessment with teaching and learning.
