The bulk of student grades in Mr. McCann’s History class are derived from the textbook published tests he gives. The students begin to protest that the tests are too hard and they do not have a chance to do as well as they want. Which of the following would be an appropriate assessment tool to use in conjunction with his tests?
  1. A conference
  2. A performance
  3. An aptitude test
  4. An essay
Explanation
Answer: B - A performance. A performance can occur in a variety of ways. Students can create written work, perform oral presentations, or create visual work, to name a few possibilities. Grades based on one form of assessment may be problematic for some students, particularly those who have less common learning styles. The ability to transform knowledge into something they can show gives students a chance to perform with the knowledge being taught.
