Our faculty, Ms. Margy Bungard, Mrs. JoJo Ullom, Dr. Traci Tuttle, Ms. Nicole Davis, and graduate student Anastasia N. Durdines (from left to right), participated in the Performance Assessments Training at Stonewall Jackson from January 21 to 22. The WV State Department of Education invited West Liberty to participate in this project; seniors in the Education Program will pilot two different performance-based assessments, one from the Pearson company, and one from Educational Testing Services (ETS). The purpose of the performance assessments is to judge learner’s abilities to apply specific knowledge and research skills in a hands-on platform.
