Authentic Assessment
  1. Criteria of Good Performance
    1. To avoid inconsistencies while assessing students, teachers should identify criteria for good performance ahead of time
      1. Scoring rubrics and checklists can help document EB performance and growth over a period of time to help inform future instruction
        1. Can also compare assessment rubrics over an extended period of time
      2. Model Good/Bad Performance
        1. Students will need to see the task rubric ahead of time
          1. There is not one correct performance or product to copy
            1. Teachers should know what good/bad performance looks like in order to develop the skills necessary perform well on the task
            2. Application of Knowledge
              1. Students are asked to apply their knowledge in a way that allows them to create new meaning in the learning process
                1. Students are assessed as they apply their understanding of the material within a real-world, authentic context
                  1. Students can apply their learning to practical, real-world scenarios, example: Students retell a story through a role play activity
                    1. Video about the benefits of allowing students to showcase their knowledge through real-world scenarios
                  2. Multiple Paths for Demonstration
                    1. Students are assessed through different measures to show understanding
                      1. Offers students choice in how they are assessed
                        1. Does not limit the languge that EB students can use, since they have a choice in assessment!
                      2. Students can show learning through: posters, presentations, videos, websites, etc..
                      3. Direct Evidence
                        1. Successful application of knowledge provides direct evidence of understanding
                          1. Examples: asking a student to provide a critique, execute a task, verbally describe a concept or idea
                            1. Data obtained not does require inference making to determine content comprehension as is required with traditional assessments
                          2. Vehicle for Student Learning
                            1. Students must be given the opportunity to engage in the construction of meaning
                              1. The real-world problems that students complete require students to learn as they develop solutions
                                1. The solutions that students develop become an assessment to showcase their understanding
