Authentic Assessments
- What is an authentic assessment?
- Traditional assessments usually mean regurgitating information onto a written test.
However, authentic assessments see if students are able to actually use the information in
a real-world purposeful way.
- This allows the students to demonstrate and
preform their knowledge, versus studying
needed answers for the test.
- Focuses on real-world
applications
- Traditional assessments usually mean regurgitating information onto a written test.
However, authentic assessments see if students are able to actually use the information in
a real-world purposeful way.
- How to create an authentic assessment?
- "Working Backwards"
- Ask yourself what you want your students to
eventually know or how to do
- Ask yourself how can they get there, then develop a
plan to achieve the overall big picture

- How does this applies to ESL?
- With any student, a traditional test does not fully show the teacher what the student
actually knows. This allows for the student to truly demonstrate their ability and
knowledge.
- Authentic assessments are well-rounded and can give the
teacher true insight to the student's knowledge.
- These can assess multiple aspects of the student all at once. The student can
be sharing content he/she knows and speaking at the same time. This gives
the teacher an assessment on two different things or more.
- Minimizes barriers for Emergent Bilingual students. For example: If a
student cannot read/write in English yet, then maybe he/she can express through oral or physical assessments.
- With any student, a traditional test does not fully show the teacher what the student
actually knows. This allows for the student to truly demonstrate their ability and
knowledge.
