Paper1: Discussion—Assessment Leads to Greater Student Understanding
Performance assessment actively involves and connects ELLs to the learning process. Academic success is ensured if ELLs remain properly engaged in this process.
Using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research performance assessment. Then, write a paper that answers the following questions:
How different is performance assessment from standardized assessment?
What role does the rubric play in performance assessment for the ELL?
How can a conventional rubric system help or hinder accurate assessment?
What types of rubrics have you utilized in your classroom? What were the benefits and drawbacks?
Write your initial response in approximately 200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
1 page is fine!!!
By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the module, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Consider commenting on the following:
How the use of the described rubrics promotes authentic assessment of ELLs
