Performance-Based Assessment Mini Portfolio
Performance-Based Assessment Mini Portfolio
Performance-based assessments, also known as authentic assessments, are another important method of measuring children’s development. During the first three weeks of this course, you have explored various assessments used to understand a child’s capabilities and needs. By focusing on what a child can do, teachers can establish individualized goals for each child. By continuing to observe, assess, and document milestones, teachers can proactively plan curriculum to meet the diverse needs of students.
Next week, you will read more about how teachers use portfolios as assessment tools. This week, you will explore potential portfolio tools that you are comfortable using for your final assignment.
