How Do You Measure Students’ Success with NGSS?

The NGSS Performance Expectations require a rethinking of traditional assessments, especially standard paper-and-pencil tests. Are you ready?
 

How will you gauge how well your students:
 

• Identify problems and design solutions?
• Plan and conduct investigations?
• Thoroughly research and report their findings?
• Develop models?
• Articulate their thoughts and ideas through oral, written, and multimedia communications?

We can help. Use these rubrics from the Building Blocks of Science® program, which are designed to assess:

• Authentic student-generated experiments
• Student-developed models that aid in the presentation of content
• Evidence-driven, student-generated product and collaboration among peer groups
