Competency Info
This is the second micro-credential in the “21st Century Learning through Global Education” stack. It is encouraged that the micro-credentials in this stack are earned in sequence, as each skill builds on the previous one in the stack.
The educator builds upon the identified considerations for practice by incorporating strategies and activities that support global education practices. The educator reflects and categorizes them according to the four global competencies.

The Advanced Performance Assessment for Learning Design stack is designed so that, if all three credentials are taken together, they will become more than the sum of their parts. Each micro-credential is intended to be able to stand on its own; however, the ideas and activities of each of these credentials support and expand on the others, allowing a fuller appreciation of performance assessment and its implications. Even more value will be gained by engaging in all three Performance Assessment for Learning stacks together.

Formative Assessments:
Performance assessments are often used as summative, end-of-unit assessments, attempting to capture the terminal demonstrations of proficiency from students. It’s important to recognize, though, that performance assessments are equally (if not more) powerful if used formatively, i.e., to provide feedback to students so that they might improve. This is performance assessment for learning.

This micro-credential, one of four in the Accommodations stack, addresses response accommodations. These micro-credentials are consistent with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) requirements and are therefore relevant to students in grades K-12 with disabilities.
