Description: This was the second of two REL Appalachia webinars on selecting, enhancing, and implementing performance assessments in science. Facilitators reviewed example performance assessments and highlighted exemplar instructional materials that supported their implementation. They also disseminated exemplars for improving performance assessments using the Virginia Quality Criteria Review Tool for Performance Assessments and REL Appalachia supplementary materials. Virginia science teachers shared insights and best practices from administering their own performance assessments through individual presentations and a Q&A session.
