Module 26 & 28 Post 2

- One question I have from the reading is, is it fair for teachers to use different rubrics because I feel that using different rubrics may not be assessing the same material each time. There could be variation in the grading throughout the school year if one rubric is not used.

-Performance assessment should be used in the classroom because this is what can help a student remember information that they just previously learned. They can apply their learned knowledge on to a skill that acquire them to use it. This is kind of similiar to inquiry based learning, except the knowledge is already learned and you are using it to complete a skill or task. When looking back on what was learned, students can remeber activites and the outcomes better then information sometimes. Then the will use assocaition with the performance and the knowledge that the acquried.
In my classroom I can use performance assessment for assesing almost anything. One way I could use a performance assessment could be for a reading assignment lets say. After a book is read to the class I will have students come up with a project that corresponds to the book that they read. They will use the information that they just learned throughout the book and apply it to a project. Then they will present the project to the class. This performance assesment will help the student become more familiar with the material they just read and will also give other students the opportunity to become familiar with new matieral.
