Laying the Foundation for Performance Assessment: Lessons Learned from the Innovation Lab Network Pilot in New England
You are invited to a complimentary webinar, Laying the Foundation for Performance Assessment: Lessons Learned from the Innovation Lab Network Pilot in New England, on Wednesday, May 27, 2015 at 3 p.m. EST.
The Innovation Lab Network (ILN), headed by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), is a group of states taking action to identify, test, and implement student-centered approaches to learning that will transform our public education system. The ILN Performance Assessment Pilot is aimed at developing resources and expertise around performance assessment across several states. In addition to the state members, project partners on this initiative include Center for Collaborative Education (CCE), the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity (SCALE) the Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education (SCOPE), and the Educational Policy Improvement Center (EPIC).
This one-hour webinar, facilitated by CCE’s Quality Performance Assessment staff, will share insights from the pilot of the ILN Performance Assessment project in three New England states - Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island - and highlight the impact that performance assessment has on student, educator and school learning.
During this interactive webinar, practitioners from ILN states will share their experiences, successes and lessons learned doing this work. Webinar participants will also be invited to raise questions and discuss the implications of performance assessment in their schools and districts.
Note: Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email. If you have any questions, please email us at info@ccebos.org.
About Quality Performance Assessment
Rethinking expectations of learners invites us to rethink once-standard assessment tools—and create new systems to help educators and learners focus on deeper mastery of content and critical thinking. Quality Performance Assessment (QPA), a new generation of processes and tools that leverage assessment as an essential tool of learning and teaching.
QPA, a program of Center for Collaborative Education (CCE), offers state departments of education and district and school based educators strategies for designing and implementing curriculum-embedded performance assessments system-wide to support the goal of college and career ready preparation.
