Deeper learning has been defined as “the skills and knowledge
that students must possess to succeed in 21st century jobs and
civic life” (William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, 2013).
Assessing Deeper Learning: Developing, Implementing, and Scoring
Performance Tasks examines the role of performance assessment to
facilitate student attainment of the core competencies of deeper
learning. The book details a journey that a large school district
undertook to create a system of performance tasks designed to
assess students’ proficiency in critical thinking, problem
solving, and effective communication. Chapters devoted to the
development and implementation of the district’s high-quality
performance tasks and rubrics highlight successes and lessons
learned during the journey. Additional chapters focus on such
topics as types of performance assessments, instructional methods
that promote student engagement and deeper learning, policy, and
how teacher leaders can drive this innovation to serve the
teaching, learning, assessment, and accountability needs of
schools. Assessing Deeper Learning: Developing, Implementing, and
Scoring Performance Tasks was written for teachers, administrators,
superintendents, and policy makers to better understand the
challenges and opportunities afforded by using performance
assessment to promote deeper learning.
