Authentic Assessments for ELLs Grades K-12
  1. Authentic v. Traditional
    1. Authentic uses performance-based tasks
      1. ask to perform v. asking a multiple-choice question, etc.
      2. Authentic uses Real-life tasks v. Contrived tasks
        1. helps create more meaningful learning and performance
        2. Authentic uses construction and application
          1. task shows the accuracy of constructed meaning
          2. Authentic is student-structured v. Traditional is teacher-structured
            1. students are allowed the freedom to construct responses to task based on own understanding
            2. Authentic provides Direct Evidence v. Indirect Evidence
              1. students are asked to apply concepts learned v. testing the theory and assuming that they can apply
              2. Steps to Constructing an Authentic Assessment
                1. 1. Identify Standard(s)
                  1. must be SMART
