Across the nation, K-12 systems increasingly use performance assessments to demonstrate and evaluate student learning. These assessments are also a promising source of information to support college access and success. But using K-12 performance assessments at the postsecondary level will require changes across the K-12 and postsecondary sectors, especially to address issues around equity. To identify issues that need to be considered when developing policy on the use of K-12 performance assessments in college advising and placement, Reimagining College Access and Complete College America partnered to form a cross-sector task force. This report summarizes the results of the task force's work and includes: (1) How college placement and advising currently work--a process that most often involves a single, standardized exam that does not fully represent students' interests, passions, and future potential; (2) Opportunities for using performance assessments to improve these processes by allowing institutions to shift their mindset to embrace the whole student rather than focusing on student deficits; (3) Challenges for using performance assessments in college placement and advising, starting with the need to connect systems across and within different sectors and educational entity types; (4) Considerations for policy to improve college placement and advising through performance assessment, including specific considerations for systems integration; and (5) Next steps to create policy recommendations, including necessary research and restructuring of existing processes.
