Tasks translate the assessment targets into performance exercises. Tasks incorporate input from local, district, state, and national stakeholders to reflect shared goals in performance exercises.
Tasks provide the context for measuring multiple goals.
They can be interdisciplinary in nature, and may be based on real-world tasks. Regardless of their makeup, tasks must enable students to demonstrate what and how much they have learned. Tasks provide specific information about the administration process, the task questions, and the scoring criteria that will be used.
