I found the Performance Based Assessment section of this chapter really interesting. I really like the idea of "tying certifications to the specific goals of learners"(114). I think that it is nice how it would be all set out online so that the students and the parents could follow it and clearly see which certificates they would need for their desired career. The new curriculum design was different in the fact that it wanted the students to almost become experts in a particular subject before moving on. In this chapter was I was mostly drawn to the Performance Based Assessment and felt that it had a great outline drawn out within the chapter.
