Introduction

The purpose of a performance assessment task is to assess the application of a variety of skills using real time data. Reading through your students' strengths and weaknesses.

Scoring Criteria - The Rubric

You will use holistic scoring to evaluate your students' responses on the performance assessment task. Holistic scoring is often referred to as "general impression" scoring because it looks at a student's performance as a whole. Percentage scoring of these tasks is not appropriate.

Holistic scoring of the tasks is guided by scoring criteria referred to as rubrics and anchor (sample) papers exemplifying each possible score on the rubric. The rubric is a set of guidelines and indicators for assigning scores to the task. It lists characteristics that describe holistic scoring criteria for each score.

3 = Responses are clearly developed and complete; show full understanding
2 = Responses are partially developed; show some understanding
1 = Responses are attempted but incomplete: show little understanding
0 = Few or no responses; show no understanding

Keep in mind that you are scoring the task for application of skills; therefore, minor calculation errors should not have a substantial impact on your evaluation.
