6. Deepening understanding Ainsworth and Viegut (2006) define performance assessments as: • An activity that requires students to: • construct a response, • create a product, or • perform a demonstration. These tasks are often “open-ended”with more than one correct answer, promoting critical thinking and problem solving skills.

7. Deepening understanding Data and Inter-rater reliability Collaborative vs. Isolated • Anchor papers • Standardization activities • Discussion stems and starters to reinforce protocol What successes and challenges has your school experienced? (Discussion Time: 3 Minutes)

8. Deepening understanding “Performance assessments… offer a variety of ways for students to demonstratewhat they know about content. These additional skills are related to attitude, creativity, ethics, perseverance, honesty, teamwork, sense of fair play, and many other behaviors and dispositions needed not only in the classroom, but also in the work force.” Sternberg, Robert J. (2007). Assessing what matters. Educational Leadership, 65 (4) 20-26.

23. Resources Examples Explain how a crumple zone or air bag reduces the force on a body in a car during a crash. Use some example calculations and/or diagrams to support your answer. What might be possible responses from students?

24. Resources Examples The Government has just announced a plan to make front air bags and side air bags compulsory in all cars. They then plan to allow drivers to drive at any speed they want. They claim that goods can then be delivered faster and the airbags will mean fewer people in hospitals. Do you think that this is a good plan? Justify your answer.
