    2. Objective Participants will learn to analyze assessment approaches focusing on student activities that still will be relevant after formal schooling concludes.

    3. What is AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT? An assessment system designed to provide a greater transfer of learning from the setting in which the learning occurs to the world beyond. Performance assessment is an alternative term. The emphasis is based on assessment activities or exemplars.

    4. Is AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT appropriate for all students? Yes, with the awareness of linguistic and cultural differences, authentic assessment allows the instructor to provide multiple ways for students to demonstrate what they have learned. Teachers can differentiate instruction as well as assessment. The assessment is supposed to accommodate the student and the learning. Relying on one form of assessment can lead to a very limited, and perhaps a not very valid understanding of students.

    5. What is the key to AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT? The key is the educator’s ability to provide an authentic simulation of the setting in which the learning will be required. In other words, create a real life situation for the students.

    6. Principles of Authentic Assessment Criterion-based standards: Provides the standard, quality, or condition one uses to evaluate the learner. Multiple indicators of quality: It represents the students performance in several component areas. Judgment reliability: (Reliability is the degree to which measurement data is stable.) Assessment criteria should be broad enough to accommodate a variety of different projects.

    7. Validity in AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT When creating an assessment does it look like it is supposed to look? (Face Validity) Does it represent the subject? (Content Validity) Does teaching and learning improve because of the assessment procedures? (Consequential Validity)

    8. AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT Choices Tests of Discrete Competencies- Display evidence of learning and use a scoring protocol to outline the desired behaviors. (Rubric) ? Exhibitions are learning experiences that take place outside the boundaries of school. Portfolios. i.e. Writing folders.

    9. AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT and Grading Grading is unnecessary, if not inconsistent in an authentic assessment system. Instead, students’ progress towards mastery of agreed upon learning outcomes is evaluated by comparing their work to objectives.
