| Description |
"This technique is quite a departure from the norm. Unlike most of the CATs in this handbook, which elicit paper-and-pencil responses, students respond to the Human Tableau or Class Modeling techniques with their minds and their bodies. Groups of students create “living” scenes or model processes to show what they know. For example, students might pose as the figures in a painting, reenact a Druid ritual at Stonehenge, or model the operation of the fuel system in an automobile engine."

| Purpose | "This CAT allows students to demonstrate their ability to apply what they know by performing it – not just by writing or saying it. Just as some students learn more effectively by watching than by listening, others learn more effectively through movement. Some ideas and skills can best be learned – or at least reinforced – and assessed through movement, as well. This technique works especially well for assessing “kinesthetic” learners and learning." — Classroom Assessment Techniques, Angelo, TA and Cross, KP, 1993 |
