California Performance Assessment Collaborative

The California Performance Assessment Collaborative (CPAC) is an initiative aimed at improving how students are evaluated in schools across California. Instead of relying solely on traditional tests, CPAC promotes performance assessments that focus on real-world skills, critical thinking, and deep understanding of subjects. Educators collaborate to create and share these assessments, which include projects and presentations, allowing students to demonstrate their knowledge in practical ways. The goal is to create a more comprehensive and meaningful picture of student learning, ultimately helping to enhance educational quality and better prepare students for future challenges.
