BUILD: Quality Assessments

School Program

A focus on meaningful, rigorous assessment can increase student engagement and skill development, improve assessment literacy skills and alignment among faculty, and generate more meaningful, useful student data.

You're ready to modernize assessment.
We're here to help.

Let's make the shift from assessment as high-stress, one-and-done events, to assessment that is a meaningful and creative learning process. The result? A system of authentic, rigorous assessments that showcase students' portfolio of learning–their knowledge, skills, and measurable growth–while laying the groundwork for flexible advancement.

Does any of this resonate with where you currently are?

*It's a very mixed bag: Assessment quality is, frankly, all over the place

*Our faculty have differing beliefs and ideas about the purpose of assessment

*We lack consistent criteria and a shared understanding of "quality," "rigor," and "relevance"

*We could really benefit from clear guidance, actionable tools, and tailored support for creating and using high quality assessments to support deep and meaningful learning

If yes, do these program outcomes resonate with you, too?

1. CLARITY: Our faculty demonstrate shared language, understanding, and criteria for high quality assessment, and why it matters

2. VISIBLE GROWTH: Our faculty demonstrate an ability to apply evidence-based tools & methods to effectively design quality assessments, and to keep improving

3. EFFICACY: Our faculty can articulate new insights and improved clarity and confidence in their assessment practice

Yes? Then let's get started.

Quality Performance Assessment: Key Features

This one-pager describes the four key features of a quality performance assessment or performance task, as well as a "big ideas" checklist for teachers or curriculum designers.

A memorable framework for quality features, the "4-A" framework for quality performance assessments was created to help clarify the essential design principles for assessments that align to institutional commitments (e.g., future-ready learning goals), ensure access for every learner, and engage learners in authentic, deep learning experiences that culminate in meaningful work products.
