CCPS Performance Assessments

Performance Assessments

Performance Assessments measure subject-matter proficiency and the ability of students to apply the content and skills they have learned. Performance Assessments may also assess acquisition of the “Five C’s” – critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration and citizenship – described in the Board of Education’s Profile of a Virginia Graduate. Performance Assessments are designed to encourage deeper learning and are an essential component of a balanced testing program.

Reliability/Validity
Teachers were provided time on planned professional development days to exchange student products and complete a review for reliability. An original document was crafted (see below) to accomplish a “second read” of student performance to determine if the associated rubric graded the product as it was designed. A third read would be used as well to ensure reliability.
