Supporting PASL Test Takers
Ethics guidelines and supportive roles
As part of required coursework, PASL test takers and educators may engage in professional discussions and activities related to the tasks. However, the work that test takers submit in response to each performance assessment task needs to be theirs and theirs alone. The written commentaries, student work, and other artifacts, as well as the video recording, has to feature candidates' interactions with colleagues and the work that the test taker facilitated within the school or district setting.
For ethical guidelines when working with test takers, see “Support and Ethical Considerations” in the PASL Candidate and Educator Handbook (PDF).
Download the handbook and guides below for detailed information about the PASL assessment and how test takers submit tasks.
