- Authentic:

- Why is authentic assessment necessary?
- Applying what their knowledge to real-world situations like they will have to do in the work place
- Evidence of understanding
- Ex. Student shows that they understand how to throw a football correctly.
- What do you need?
- You need to know what standard you want to assess. You do not
want it to be too narrow or too broad.
- Decide on the task and how will be measured
- Know what you want the students to achieve through the task
- Make a rubric that aligns with what is being measured
- Rubrics
- This is necessary so that the students know how
they are being evaluated.
- "When a rubric is applied more consistently and objectively it will lead
to greater reliability and validity in the results."- Jon Mueller
