Now that you have completed the second leg of your journey, please share your work below. If you do not have an account, you can still add images below the post. If you have already accepted an invitation, please log in above and paste your image directly into the blog after the post line below.

Feel free to add any explanation or share any other resources that made the process easier for you. Likewise I’d also love to hear how you overcame difficulties within the process as well.  Feedback such as this can improve lessons over time.

The process of designing performance assessment for elementary students requires a good understanding of content and requirements across multiple disciplines. In the case of my examples, I suggest using search tools on the web to identify the state or national standards your teaching situation requires. In my case I can use the Michigan Department of Education website to access PDF formatted versions of the state curriculum in Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. Common Core standards being adopted can be found at the home page for the Common Core Standards initiative.

Now that I have shared two of my own resources for identifying standards for my elementary classes, I’d like you to share yours below. Using the tools I’ve demonstrated in my Screenflow tutorial on becoming a GaGa Post member, please add your own resources for identifying your necessary standards for development of performance assessments covering several standards.
