The "Big Five" of Authentic Assessment
- Realistic
- Assessments tied to
real-world concepts and
activities; not contrived
- Instead of traditional multiple choice
tests that are disconnected from
real-world contexts, try an activity
like...
- Creating a brochure illustrating and describing trees and flowers for a local
park
- Real-world task
- Demonstrates knowledge of biological concepts
- Allows for modifications for EL students

- Use of Repertoire of Knowledge
- Rather than containing objectives that only isolate specific skills or sets of
knowledge, authentic assessment encourages a utilization of a
repertoire of knowledge.
- Instead of requiring memorization and recall of
specific topics, APPLY a wealth of knowledge areas
with an assessment like...
- Role-playing: Interviews with book characters. Have
student pretend to be a character from a
recently-read text and participate in an interview
about his life.
- Demonstrates knowledge of character/text
- Strengthens and assesses public speaking skills
- Strengthens and assesses predictive and critical thinking skills
- Demonstrates knowledge of character/text

- Product-Based
- Often times, correctness is the only criterion used in traditional
assessments. Product-based assessments requires a justification
of answers and complete knowledge of topic. Does not allow for
simply guessing an answer and getting it correct.
- Instead of giving a True or False assessment that gives
students a 50/50 chance of guessing a correct answer,
instead try an assessment like...
- ABC Math Book: Students create a
children's book with a geometric
shape/concept for each letter of the
alphabet (A for Acute, B for Bisect,
etc.)
- Creates a real-world "product"
- Requires complete understanding of topic; no guessing
- Allows for EL students to show their knowledge in a variety of ways
- Creates a real-world "product"

- Preparation
- Assessments and activities must be known in advance.
- Instead of providing tests with
unknown content or goals,
teachers should provide rubrics or
instruction sheets in advance.
- Knowing what to expect accomplishes the following:
- EL students can prepare in advance
- Lowers the affective filter
- Ensures learning objectives and standards are clear
- EL students can prepare in advance
- Knowing what to expect accomplishes the following:
- Instead of planning then curriculum then assessments,
plan your assessments first and teach with the test
in mind.
- Instead of providing tests with
unknown content or goals,
teachers should provide rubrics or
instruction sheets in advance.
- Assessments and activities must be known in advance.
- Scoring Complexity: Not always one right answer.
- Assessments are created such that there is not always one correct answer. Assessments
include tasks in which a variety of methods may be used to demonstrate knowledge of a
variety of areas.
- Instead of creating an assessment in which
there is one correct answer form, instead try....
- Creating rubric-based tasks in which scores
can be generated across a variety of scales
- For example, in a
language-learning class,
allow the students to
give a presentation
about their family using
a rubric assessing
pronunciation,
grammar usage,
fluency, etc.
