Tool 5: Using Evidence of Learning Specifications to develop performance tasks
Part of the Five Tools and Processes for Translating the NGSS Into Instruction and Classroom Assessment Curriculum Collection.
The purpose of Tool 5 is to develop a performance task. Using the evidence of learning specifications from Tool 2 and considering the instructional sequence outlined in Tool 4, teachers begin to develop a summative assessment that completes the “evaluate” activity. They develop a three-dimensional assessment that incorporates crosscutting concepts that students learned in the sequence, the disciplinary core ideas, as well as the science and engineering practices. This three-dimensional performance task helps teachers evaluate what students have learned as a result of NGSS-aligned instruction.
