PERFORMANCE TASKS

A performance task is any learning activity or assessment that asks students to perform to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and proficiency. It serves as evidence of learning. This pandemic we had several performance tasks for each term to showcase their creativity and learning. 

​

Despite the many challenges we faced this ODL, the students were able to accomplish the performance tasks with ease and with great pride. I can say that their confidence was honed thru vlogging or videos and their creativity as well. I am happy to note that, as young as they are they can already do simple tasks that enables them to become a problem solver and critical thinkers.
