Under ESSA, assessments must include measures that assess higher-order thinking skills and understanding and may be partially delivered in the form of portfolios, projects, or extended-performance tasks. These higher-quality assessments measure the skills and competencies developed by students who participate in Linked Learning more effectively than traditional assessments. In addition, ESSA authorizes funding that California can use to develop and implement these assessments.
