Performance Task Assessment Lists Are Assessment Tools That Provide The Structure Students Need To Work More Independently And To Encourage Them To Pay Attention To The Quality Of Their Work.

• In Creating Performance Task Teachers Focus On What Students Need To Know And Be Able To Do.
• One Result Is That Teachers Can More Consistently And Fairly Evaluate And Grade Students Work.
• Information From Performance Task Assessment Also Helps Students Set Learning Goals And Thus Helps Teachers Focus Subsequent Instruction.

Before They Submit Their Work, Students Do A Final Inspection Of Their Own Graphs And Complete The Self-Assessment Column. During This Self-Assessment Step, Students Often Find Ways To Improve Their Work.

Peer Assessment Can Also Take Place At This Time. Experiences With Peer Assessment Often Improve Students' Self-Assessing Skills.

The Final Step Is For The Teacher To Assess The Work And At The Same Time, Evaluate The Student's Self-Assessment.

When Discrepancies Are Found Between The Student's Self-Assessment And The Teacher's Assessment Of The Student's Work, The Teacher May Decide To Hold Conferences With The Students Who Need Work On Improving The Accuracy Of Their Self-Assessment.
