Forms of Assessment

Performance Projects

Description

In the performing arts, in particular, the performance project—staging a play, a concert, a dance performance—is a well-established form not only of summative assessment, but of structuring an entire sequence of teaching. However, other forms of practical project which involve planning, implementation and evaluation share important features with the traditional performance project. Hence a marketing campaign, an enterprise project, a charity fund-raising exercise, an exhibition, an expedition, a sports competition and so on fall into broadly the same category.
