Performance Assessments September 2013
2. Purpose for Assessments To meet the goals of Common Core
State Standards, it is imperative that teachers have evidence of
the progress students are making towards required fluencies and
understandings. Performance assessments allow the teacher to
measure student acquisition of Common Core content with respect to
specific standards of performance. Teachers will be able to record
this information on task rubrics and have a baseline to begin
measuring student progress. 3. Using Link It This school year,
LinkIt! is the system we are using for Performance-based
assessments LinkIt is an electronic scoring program, which provides
an interface for teachers to score Performance-based assessments
Tutorials have been prepared that will walk teachers through the
process of the login and scoring process. There will be
opportunities to sign-up for LinkIt! training in AVATAR. 4. Logging

should make one copy for each student of the recording sheets
within the assessment. 5. First administration (September) may be
done by the students classroom teacher. Second administration must
