Simple and efficient testing! Metabolism, animal order, and plant systematics are just a few of the topics covered in the 5th grade biology curriculum that need to be taught and tested. However, the workload involved in designing these performance tests can be overwhelming. The series "Measuring and Evaluating Performance Levels at Grammar School" offers practical assistance with ready-to-use performance assessments on all key curriculum topics. Structured tasks, well-founded and clear materials, transparent evaluation grids, and practical sample solutions facilitate quick corrections and qualified grading. Additional support is provided by operators and grade tables in the appendix. To ensure individual differentiation and adaptation to the learning group, the enclosed CD contains all performance assessments as well.
