Authentic Assessment
- Adriana

- Big Idea 2: Why use AA? Authentic
Assessment provides students with
the oppotunity to demonstrate what
they know AND show their teacher
they can use the knowledge in real
word scenarios. AA lends itself to the
student constructing meaning of the
knowledge which will also allow them
to retain it better.
- EB students are likely to vary
in ability level, so an example of
authentic assessment is
allowing variability. Some
students may demonstrate
their comprehension in an oral
presentation because their
speech is stronger than their
writing ability while a peer opts
to create a poster for the exact
opposite reason.

- Big Idea 3: How to do it? Teachers should keep in mind that their
main goal is to create opportunities for their students to
perform real world tasks where they can use the knowledge and
skills taught to them. However, there are steps one can follow.
The first is to identify the standards (part of planning
backwards), next create authentic tasks, determine the criteria
that would demonstrate the student fulfilled the standard,
finally create a rubric to evaluate their achievement more
precisely.
- EB students can demonstrate how
well they understand the concept of
money by participating in the
economy on a smaller scale. The
currency can be dollars, pesos,
quetzals, or whatever the class is
most familiar. Students could each
sell an item while others shop, then
switch roles. All the while, students
are documenting their sales by
creating receipts and documenting
their expenses. They will speak on
their experience in an oral, video, or
poster presentation.

- Big Idea 1 AA vs. TA:
Authentic Assessment (AA)
requires the instructor to
determine what they want
their pupil to learn before
creating a curriculum. Once
the teacher knows what
the student should be
capable of doing, they will
design their curriculum
(planning backwards). AA
typically is used for tasks
that are real-word
challenges the student is
likely to encounter and
requires them to
demonstrate their
capabilities and knowledge
of the task. In traditional
assessment (TA), the
school's curriculum would
determine what the
assessment would look like
or contain. Students only
tell the knowledge or skills
they acquired. However, both
assessments can be used
to acquire a complete
understanding of the
student.
- TA: EB students would demonstrate
their comprehension and ability to
retell a text using a cut and paste
worksheet. This is because pictures of
events from the story are readily
available to the children. They would
only need to paste them in the order
they occurred. Some multiple choice
questions would follow the activity
asking about why a character acted in
a certain manner. This assessment is
traditional because children are given
choices to choose from to fulfill the
task which also makes it less
applicable to the child's authentic
interactions.
- AA: EB students would demonstrate
their comprehension and ability to
retell a text while putting on a
puppet show of the story's events.
This is because the learners would
need to identify the characters, their
roles, intent of actions, and sequence
of events to carry it out successfully.
Furthermore, the assessment is
authentic because students would
face similar real-world challenges
when comprehending their
coworker's perspective or recalling
information about a staff meeting
to inform a colleague.

- Big Idea 4: Initial Assessment will influence
where the student is placed and determine
what the best methods of instruction are
because we will obtain a better
understanding of the child's skills and
abilities.
- Initial Assessments are legally required
so schools know what services to provide
their students. Home Language Surveys
can help schools make decisions that will
positively impact their EB population..
These surveys typically ask for
information regarding what languages
are spoken at home, how often, with
who, and when. Parents or the caregiver
can express how many languages the
child speaks as well as the student's skill
level.

- Big Idea 5: Ongoing Assessment
is useful in determining how well
the current instruction is
working for the EB..
- Portfolio Assessments are a
neat way to capture an EB
progress. In this folder, select
assignments, projects, and work
of the child is stored away
throughout the year. The content
of this portfolio should be
predetermined, purposeful and
informative of the child's ability,
and tailored to fulfill objectives
selected when first creating the
portfolio.

- Big Idea 6: High-stakes testing is
necessary for EB students to partake in
because their scores will reflect how
well their school, district, and state
education agencies are progressing in
the EB education.
- Schools are required to participate
in this testing with 95%
attendance. EB students who
qualify to avoid testing are those
who do not have enough English
language proficiency. Thankfully,
these tests provide
accommodations for qualifying EB
students. They have extra time to
complete the task, are read aloud
the prompts/questions, have more
breaks, and take the test in a less
distracting environment.
