About
Description
The New York Performance Standards Consortium offers a better way to assess student learning. With a belief that standardized testing is not enough, they have developed an assessment system that provides a fuller picture of what students know and can do. Their system is based on in-depth literacy, mathematical problem-solving, scientific method application, social studies research, and a variety of mediums for exhibiting learning.
It also emphasizes student voice and ownership of their work. The Consortium consists of 38 public high schools that serve over 12,000 diverse students in the New York City public school system. These schools have a waiver that allows them to graduate students using the Consortium's performance assessment system instead of most Regents exams.
This enables them to implement innovative curriculum and assessments across various disciplines. The Consortium's impact is evident through the experiences, advice, and reflections shared by students. Featured videos and student panels provide insights into the benefits of the Consortium's approach to education.
In addition, the Consortium hosts an annual conference that focuses on nurturing joy in learning and features keynote speakers such as Congressman Jamaal Bowman and Dr. Denisha Jones. This conference explores unstandardized approaches to education.
Recent news articles highlight the positive experiences of students in Consortium schools and the potential for performance-based assessment to reshape graduation requirements. The Consortium's efforts have also led to partnerships, such as the Consortium-CUNY Admissions Pilot, which assesses college readiness through authentic student work. Overall, the New York Performance Standards Consortium is dedicated to providing a comprehensive and innovative assessment system that empowers students and prepares them for college and beyond
