Abstract

New reforms in science education have ushered in fundamental changes in instruction and assessment. These changes include a focus on tightly integrating what students know with what they can do in science. We describe learning performances as integrated performance statements that help teachers identify formative assessment opportunities to support their students in achieving complex end-of-grade-band science performance expectations. This poster describes a principled approach for designing assessment tasks aligned with learning performances that can help guide teachers' instructional decisions.
