The purpose of this tool is twofold: (1) to more deeply understand the SCALE Quality Criteria for Performance Assessments by interacting with an actual performance assessment, and (2) to analyze a performance assessment.

Stanford NGSS Assessment Project (SNAP) has developed sets of tools to support educators in designing and using performance assessments for 3-dimensional science standards, such as NGSS. Free online courses provide instruction on how to use these tools to support professional learning...

This tool uses Stanford NGSS Assessment Project's design principles as a foundation to guide developers in building instructionally-embedded performance assessments (IEAs) that elicit actionable information about students' progress with the dimensions being assessed. It is designed to be used...

This tool uses Stanford NGSS Assessment Project's design principles as a foundation to guide developers in building Short Performance Assessments (SPAs) that elicit actionable information about students' progress with the dimensions being assessed. It is designed to be used with the course:...
