Assessment Workshops Introduction to Arts Assessment Creating a valid, reliable performance based assessment program is a long-term process. This workshop provides a foundation upon which participants deepen their assessment knowledge and skills. Participants explore the purposes of assessment in their school or district and begin to examine assessment theory. Observation checklists, along with an introduction to validity, reliability, and forced choice assessments are included. This workshop builds on the knowledge and skills developed in "Introduction to Arts Assessment." The fundamentals of rubrics are introduced and successful and unsuccessful examples are examined. Participants discuss the component parts of performance assessment and begin putting theory into practice by developing measurable tasks for use in their own classroom, school, or district. In this culmination of the assessment workshops, participants review general assessment practices as they relate to the arts. They discuss the nature and types of rubrics while examining sample rubrics for the arts. Participants are guided through the creation of rubrics to meet the criteria for their classroom, school, or district and gain the skills to implement and adapt an assessment program to meet the changing needs of their education environment.
