M-STEP Performance Tasks

 

The state has released one ELA and math sample Classroom Activity (CA) and Performance Task (PT) for each grade level to familiarize and help prepare students for M-STEP in the spring. I would encourage you to check them out and even have your students try them.

In addition, the rubrics for narrative, informational, and opinion PT are available for view. The expectation for ELA Performance Tasks is that each student will write one full-length essay with multiple paragraphs. The students could receive either a narrative, informational, or opinion PT. Schools and teachers will not know which mode the students will be asked to respond to until the testing session begins. Therefore, this is a great opportunity to compare our Reading Street rubrics to M-STEP and make adjustments as needed.
