  1. Definition of Authentic Assessment
    1. "A form of assessment in which students are asked to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills"-Jon Mueller
      1. http://jfmueller.faculty.noctrl.edu/toolbox/whatisit.htm
    2. Traditional Assessment vs Authentic Assessment
      1. Traditional:
        1. Multiple Choice, True/False, Matching
          1. Only one answer can be correct
        2. Authentic:
          1. Apply knowledge to an activity
            1. A number of answers can be correct
        3. Why is authentic assessment necessary?
          1. Applying what their knowledge to real-world situations like they will have to do in the work place
            1. Evidence of understanding
              1. Ex. Student shows that they understand how to throw a football correctly.
          2. What do you need?
            1. You need to know what standard you want to assess. You do not want it to be too narrow or too broad.
              1. Decide on the task and how will be measured
                1. Know what you want the students to achieve through the task
                  1. Make a rubric that aligns with what is being measured
            2. Rubrics
              1. This is necessary so that the students know how they are being evaluated.
                1. "When a rubric is applied more consistently and objectively it will lead to greater reliability and validity in the results."- Jon Mueller
                  1. http://jfmueller.faculty.noctrl.edu/toolbox/howstep4.htm
                  2. Provides a means of how a grade is achieved on the task that has been assigned to the students
                    1. Explains what the teacher is looking for and how they achieve maximum points
                2. Assessment for ELLs
                  1. Initial Assessment
                    1. Helps to know what services to provide and what level students are achieving
                      1. Helps teachers know what the students are capable of doing
                    2. Ongoing Assessment

                      2. Standardized Assessment
