From the Publisher:

Applying Performance Assessment to Standards-Based Curricula
This practical book demonstrates the essential connections between:

- standards-based curricula

- performance assessment

- assessment-driven instruction

- authentic learning

This book provides teachers and administrators with practical tools for planning and teaching. With chapters on social studies, science, mathematics, and language arts, this book enables teachers to use performance assessment more effectively in their classrooms.

At the heart of this book is the "achievement cycle". By applying it in your school or classroom, you will yield the best answers to questions like these:

- Does your curriculum reflect and embody the best current standards?

- Do your performance assessments validly measure student mastery of the curriculum?

- Do your results indicate that authentic learning is taking place?
