    Performance Tasks Timeline

    This timespan covers the 2013-2014 school year, which will be our first pilot year of the new Performance Based Assessment tasks.

  • Diagnostic 1

    Teachers will give Diagnostic 1 as the pre-assessment measure. This assessment can be used to establish baseline data for an SLO, as well as using the data to make data-driven decisions about writing instruction.

  • Diagnostic 2

    Diagnostic 2 will be the second type of writing performance task, as established by PARCC. It can also be used to establish baseline data for an SLO and to make data-driven decisions regarding writing instruction.

  • Summative 1

    Summative 1 will match in type to Diagnostic 1. Comparing data between these two assessments will provide a true growth measure, in an "apples to apples" manner. Summative 1 will come at the end of MP 3 and will replace BM 3. This staggering of tasks is aligned with PARCC's model where one summative measure comes at approximately 70% of instruction, and the other comes at 90-95% of instruction.

  • Summative 2

    Summative 2 will match in type to Diagnostic 2. Comparing data between these two assessments will provide a true growth measure, in an "apples to apples" manner. Summative 2 will come at the end of MP 4 and will replace BM 4. This staggering of tasks is aligned with PARCC's model where one summative measure comes at approximately 70% of instruction, and the other comes at 90-95% of instruction.
