To create an effective rubric for a performance assessment, several steps should be followed. The rubric creator needs to define the learning objectives and skills for the task. They must identify the specific criteria that will be used to evaluate student performance. Performance levels like exemplary, proficient, developing, and beginning should be determined. Descriptions of what constitutes each performance level for each criteria must be developed to ensure clarity and specificity. The completed rubric should then be shared with students to provide clear expectations. When assessing student performance, the rubric should be used consistently and fairly.

1. Prior School Experience
a) What makes a performance assessment such an attractive tool? Performance assessment provides a more authentic and comprehensive way to assess student's skills, knowledge, and abilities beyond simple memorization and regurgitation of facts by requiring students to demonstrate their learning through real-world applications and tasks. This tool allows students to showcase their understanding and problem-solving capabilities, fostering deeper learning and critical thinking and providing valuable insights into students' strengths and areas for improvement, guiding educators in making targeted instructional decisions. b) How would you go about creating a rubric for a performance task? To create a rubric for a performance task, several steps need to be followed: i. Define the task's learning objectives and the specific skills students should demonstrate. ii. Identify the criteria that will be used to assess the student's performance. iii. Determine the performance levels (e.g., exemplary, proficient, developing, beginning). iv. Develop descriptions for each level of performance for each criterion, ensuring clarity and specificity. v. Share the rubric with students to provide clear expectations for their work. vi. Use the rubric consistently and fairly when assessing student performance. 2. Vocabulary a) Performance assessment: An evaluation method that requires students to demonstrate their understanding and skills through real-world tasks and activities. b) Holistic rubric: An assessment tool that provides a single overall score or rating for the entire performance or task hence considering the overall quality and performance without breaking it down into specific criteria. c) Analytic rubric: An assessment tool that evaluates different components or criteria of performance separately. Each criterion is assessed individually, providing specific feedback for each aspect of the task. 3. Concept Knowledge strategy for successfully conducting a performance assessment - ensure that the assessment aligns closely with the learning objectives and desired outcomes by clearly defining the task's purpose and the specific skills and knowledge students are expected to demonstrate. Also, providing clear instructions and rubrics to students beforehand helps them understand what is expected and how they will be assessed. Regular feedback and opportunities for practice can also enhance students' preparedness and confidence for the assessment. 4. Interest: I was once involved in a task requiring students to show flight's working principles. The project required simple tasks that would show the fundamental forces required to maintain a flight: lift, thrust, weight, and drag. We made paper airplanes of different dimensions and shapes and threw them to determine whose flew the furthest and therefore discuss why this was the case and how we could tweak our own to achieve the same. \At the end of the task, the underlying principles had been well established, and the activity was engaging
