Meuler LTM 632 Ready-to-Administer Performance Assessment Cover Sheet This performance assessment is designed for 11th and 12th grade students in an all-male, Catholic, Jesuit college-preparatory high school. The assessment is included in International Relations which is offered as a one-semester political science elective course in the social studies department. Students are eligible for the course after they have completed year-long core courses in World History and United States History. The performance assessment is aligned with several course outcomes related to knowledge of world order and the functions of the United Nations, as well as enhancing the ability to articulate a logical viewpoint while discussing a current issue in global politics with other students who represent diverse perspectives. The assessment is also aligned to the schools mission and Graduate at Graduation statement which, among other things, challenges students to become intellectually competent and committed to justice. The performance assessment will be administered at the end of the semester following the submission of a research paper on the same topic and prior to the final exam. Combining traditional research and writing with a performance assessment offers an opportunity for students to work on creative problem solving and consider a wide range of ideas and global perspectives. This assessment is designed as summative as it is the culmination of a semester of informal and formal formative learning experiences through discussion, reading, writing, listening, and viewing. The formative experiences will support student learning by giving them input, practice, and feedback in the learning process. Students develop the ability to self assess through weekly reflections on learner behaviors. Students will self assess their research, writing and performance in the United Nations simulation. Students will receive feedback from the teacher to build towards the summative assessment and will receive feedback for the finished product and final performance.
