Performance Assessment Freebies

In my Master Of Administration class we are currently learning about Performance Assessments. With the big push of Common Core into the classrooms more performance assessment are necessary in order to help our students become proficient in more rigorous skills. I'm working on a super boring project but thought I'd share the websites I've visited throughout my research that have free performance assessments. Most of these websites align the assessment to the specific Common Core strand... So if you are looking for an exam aligned to what you are currently teaching these are perfect. Enjoy! Because they are all FREEEEE! Most contain scoring rubrics as well.
