ACT V: ASSESSMENT Discover Your New Skills To gain a sense of how students’ awareness of disability has changed, complete the following assessment before beginning the VSA Playwright Discovery Program and at its end. To gain a truer sense of student learning, do not correct and discuss the assessment until the program has ended. Allowing the students to compare their first and second set of answers will provide the VSA a truer sense of the program’s success. Teachers may choose to ask students to place their name on the Assessment or not. The primary goal is to identify how the class has improved awareness rather than individual growth. The Discovery Assessment Answer Key is on page 71. • 60 ACT V: ASSESSMENT
