Performance Assessment: A Teacher’s Way of Knowing

Synopsis: With a shift to a developmentally apropriate curriculum in education, methods used to evaluate children’s educational progress are re-evaluated. Dr S J Meilsels presents the rationale behind the current move to performance assessment in primary grades and early-childhood settings. The video introduces the necessary components of assessment and demonstrates observation against a standard, collection of documentation for a portfolio, participation in conferences, and the use of these tools to make evaluative judgements of a child’s progress.
