Performance Based Assessments
Completing PBAs
Every good instructional program should include a set of objectives, learning activities, and assessments, aligned together in a coordinated way. The core assessments for the ILT program are found in a set of performance-based assessments or PBAs.
- PBA 1 Praxis exam (required of K12 teachers beginning January 2006; not required of students in ID track)
- PBA 2 Trend analysis
- PBA 3 Early portfolio
- ADDIE PBA 4.1 Needs assessment
- ADDIE PBA 4.2 Design rationale
- ADDIE PBA 4.3 Development
- ADDIE PBA 4.4 Implementation/formative evaluation
- ADDIE PBA 4.5 Student assessment/summative evaluation
- PBA 5 Action inquiry
- PBA 6 Management report
- PBA 7 Leadership report
The first Performance Based Assessment is only required of K12 teachers; all students must complete the remaining PBAs.
The table below shows how our PBAs are integrated into ILT coursework. Some PBAs are covered in only one course; others span across multiple courses. You are responsible for passing all PBAs by the time you submit your professional portfolio.
