Learn how young students in one school system apply their knowledge and skills in real-world applications within a framework of 21st century student outcomes. Guided by a continuum of rubric-based performance assessments with ascending levels of expertise, students understand, use, and transfer essential knowledge and skills to authentic practices and problems. The rubric addresses levels of expertise in terms of content, mechanics, presentation, critical and creative thinking, and reflection. Participants analyze sample performance assessments and learn to create performance assessments for young learners.
