What’s New in Integrated Performance Assessment?

In this talk, Francis Troyan from The Ohio State University will provide an overview of the Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) within the broader work on performance and proficiency-oriented instruction, along with updates based on the 20 years initiatives and research on IPA in the field. He will then explore and discuss examples of programmatic implementations of IPA from a range of instructional contexts, and discuss possibilities for implementation.
