Performance-Based Assessment for 21st-Century Skills

<p>Performance-based assessments allow classroom teachers an alternative to traditional multiple-choice tests. We often use fill-in-the bubble assessments in education to determine the readiness of students. However in the 21st-century workplace these types of tests fail to truly prepare students. How many times in the real world are we called upon to take a multiple-choice test? In the real world we are called upon to prove our merit through performance-based assessments displaying our 21st-century skills. We should be preparing students for this in the classroom. <i>Performance-Based Assessment for 21st-Century Skills</i> makes the argument that teachers should use performance-based assessments in the classroom. It guides the educator step by step to show how he or she can create performance-based assessments for students including what they look like teaching students how to create them setting the proper classroom environment and how to evaluate them.</p>
