Performance tasks that require
students to formulate and carry out their own inquiries,
analyze & present
findings, and (sometimes)
revise in response to feedback

Supporting All TeachersvConsider Additional
Training/Supports for Teachers Not Directly Involved in Common Task Development
Teachers routinely reported that the process of developing the common tasks greatly improved their own task development process and their approach to assessment. As the program expands, it will be important to maintain that benefit for all participants.
ü 16-17: Hiring of PACE Teacher Leaders within districts to better transmit institutional knowledge to all teachers.
ü 16-17: Investment in online intranet for all PACE teachers to share key documents and resources.
ü 17-18: Expanding high quality performance assessment development training within Tiers 2.
ü 17-18: Developing robust set of common resources for competency-based education and assessment across all three tiers of PACE.
![Page 34: Formative Evaluation of New Hampshire's Performance … · 2017-06-28 · Formative Evaluation of New Hampshire's Performance Assessment of Competency Education (PACE) Gene Wilhoit,](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050605/5fac60783d15eb669b515c8c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Quality Local AssessmentvRoutinize Timely
Reviews of Local Performance Tasks
It is important to ensure that the tasks and rubrics are of sufficient quality to be used to generate student scores and annual determinations. Teachers report that their skill level in developing these tasks improves with each year of PACE participation…. Instituting a system of regular task review will help ensure that happens.
ü 16-17: The NHDOE is now reviewing one major assessment per competency for each PACE course in all of the participating districts.
ü 16-17: Contract with Stanford to review all local performance assessments.
ü Summer ’17: NH DOE will provide feedback to districts related to their assessments systems and targeted supports for those districts in need of additional guidance.

Evaluating ImpactvPlan for Future
Research on the Impact of PACE on Teaching and Learning
The positive impacts of PACE on teaching and learning should continue to be externally verified beyond this evaluation. This may be part of a future research agenda when it becomes possible to evaluate the predictive strength of PACE results on college and career performance.
ü On-going: Annual evaluation of student performance on standardized assessments. 2016 yielded some early indications of success.
ü 16-17: Providing access to PACE data to internal and external researchers
ü 17-18: Seeking funding from Hewlett to more deeply understand the connection between learning and engagement in complex performance assessments.
