Title: Guide to Developing Equitable Performance Assessments
Authors: Nanette Koelsch, Elise Trumbull, & Beverly Farr

Copyright: 1995

Summary:

Oftentimes, poor performance represents a gap between a student's frame of reference and the task being evaluated, rather than what a student has actually learned. Since the goal of assessment is to determine what a student knows, it is important that assessment reflect a student's particular culture. This guide includes principles for developing performance assessments that are in tune with students' particular cultures, materials for a professional development workshop, and a selection of assessment tasks for grades 4-8.
