Using Student Work To Strengthen Performance Assessments for NGSS: Course 3
About this course
The course helps educator teams run pilot assessments aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and then examine student work to spot trends that inform assessment revisions. Participants learn how to collect and code student responses, interpret the resulting data, and make evidence‑based adjustments to improve the reliability and validity of their performance tasks. It’s focused on practical, collaborative improvement rather than theory alone, so teams leave with concrete strategies for refining their NGSS assessments.
