Looking for a way to differentiate with your advanced learners? This has worked well with me. This can work at any grade level. 1. Give a pre-test for the chapter. Tell kids in advance that if they score a certain percentage on the test, they will be eligible to do an independent study project while other students work on the main assignments for the chapter. 2. Students develop three higher level questions they want answered about the information in the chapter and then research those que

Map Skills Performance- Based Assessment

Created by

Robyn Rimler

Map skills are crucial, even in today's ever changing, rapidly progressing world. All too often map skills are presented to students in a way that is dry, dull, and disconnected from their personal experiences and "real" lives. They fail to understand why legends and scales should matter to them! Rather than the old fashioned pencil and paper assessment to check for mastery of important map concepts like key, compass rose, coordinate grid, and symbols, this project allows students to synthesi
