Description
Performance tasks are highly effective tools to assist you in implementing rigorous standards. But how do you create, evaluate, and use such tools? In this bestselling book, educational experts Charlotte Danielson and Elizabeth Marquez explain how to construct and apply performance tasks to gauge students窶� deeper understanding of mathematical concepts at the high school level. You窶冤l learn how to:
- Evaluate the quality of performance tasks, whether you窶况e written them yourself or found them online;
- Use performance tasks for instructional decision-making and to prepare students for summative assessments;
- Create your own performance tasks, or adapt pre-made tasks to best suit students窶� needs;
