Performance based assessment is an activity or reading that allows a student to demonstrate their proficiency with skills or knowledge learned in a particular unit. I have developed many performance assessments and also worked on scoring PBA for the state.

Benefits - greater picture of student achievement, more overarching

Drawbacks - need teach in a particular way to allow students to practice skills. Time consumptive grading

Students working together to complete a task. Students doing lab/group work. Students are able to interact with each other to complete a goal. Bigger groups may get off task easier.

A performance based assessment is a way to assess students by how they complete a task or activity

PBA's are used often as labs are conducted in class.

Benefits: Students can demonstrate and apply knowledge in order to complete the task
Drawbacks: Students lose focus and are distracted in large classroom settings
