Performance Assessment Tasks
This section is dedicated to making it easier to design assignments and projects for students that are aligned with the district developed standards and benchmarks. Over the past decade, we have worked to increase active student engagement and provide work that addresses multiple intelligences. These efforts have, in many cases, provided a more engaging, motivational learning climate and allowed greater success to a wider variety of students. Our efforts are to continue this work by tightening up the relationship of the assignments and projects to the identified standards and benchmarks.
