classroom performance assessments
we help teachers design authentic tasks and embed performance assessments into daily instruction so students can show what they know in real and meaningful ways.

classroom performance assessments provide students with opportunities to demonstrate mastery through real-world tasks, exhibitions, and reflections.

designing authentic tasks aligned to standards and durable skills
are your performance assessments giving students the chance to show what they truly know and can do?
craft performance tasks that go beyond recall: asking students to apply learning in authentic, real-world contexts. we help teachers and coaches design tasks that align to both academic standards and durable skills, ensuring students develop and demonstrate critical thinking, creativity, and communication along the way.
embedding performance assessments into daily instruction
what might it look like to make performance assessments part of everyday learning?
performance assessments are most powerful when they’re woven into daily instruction — not saved for the end of a unit. we help teachers design everyday learning experiences that naturally include opportunities for students to show, reflect on, and improve their work, building a culture where assessment and learning go hand in hand.
creating rubrics that drive learning, not just grading
how can co-created rubrics help students understand quality and own their learning?
when rubrics are co-created with students, they become more than a grading tool. they become a shared roadmap for quality work. we help educators design student-friendly rubrics that clarify expectations, guide self-assessment and peer feedback, and support students in revising and improving their work with purpose.
