Module 3:
Authentic
Assessment
- Traditional Assessment: Pros & Cons
- Pros: benefits of teacher control,
demonstrates a knowledge base,
compliment Authentic Assessment.
- Cons: Little opportunity for analysis,
synthesis, application, or substantial
depth of knowledge demonstration;
difficult to tell how students came to an
answer because indirect evidence;
contrived.
- Skills/Standards --> Assessment.
Shouldn't the product be the
emphasis/starting point?
- Teaching to the test:
discouraged because
students who learn the test
can score better despite no
real understanding of the
content.
- "An autoposy."
- Pros: benefits of teacher control,
demonstrates a knowledge base,
compliment Authentic Assessment.
- Direct Evidence
- Allows teacher to track student progress
and document specific data.
- Provides essential data for
form tracking of language
acquisition AND content
knowledge development.
- Excellent data for NCLB and other documentation.
- Allows teacher to track student progress
and document specific data.
- Performance/Task-based
- Real world application: If our students
should be college and career ready,
shouldn't their work reflect real-world tasks?
- Allows for critical thinking and
student construction instead of
recall / recognition.
- Student-centered.
- Requires problem solving and
application -- do we want to create
a generation of problem-solvers or
a generation of cogs-in-a-machine
who only recall information?
- Real world application: If our students
should be college and career ready,
shouldn't their work reflect real-world tasks?
- Student Feedback
- Rubrics make learning goals clear.
They also allow students to work
within a flexible frame and pull from
strengths.
- Portfolios allow students to directly
see development and self-assess
their progress on a standard/skill.
- Rubrics give students
specific parameters and
understandable goals.
- Teaching to the test: Showing
examples and molding instruction
to the test is encouraged because
it isn't "cheating" -- it provides
models but not answers. Students
must still problem-solve and
generate genuine products.
- Opportunities for group
projects so students receive
feedback from peers.
- Rubrics make learning goals clear.
They also allow students to work
within a flexible frame and pull from
strengths.
- Assessing Content Knowedlge
- Traditional assessment often
rely on understanding of
English. It's difficult to tell if a
student's success (or lack there
of) is due to content knowledge
or language proficiency.
- A student developing English language
proficiency can still show mastery of a
CONTENT skill in a task-based or oral
portfolio because it is not relent on English
proficiency and inflexible language
requirements.
- A student developing English language
proficiency can still show mastery of a
CONTENT skill in a task-based or oral
portfolio because it is not relent on English
proficiency and inflexible language
requirements.
- Authentic Assessments test the TRUE
application of the content knowledge,
therefore highlighting true mastery
and success in the field.
- Traditional assessment often
rely on understanding of
English. It's difficult to tell if a
student's success (or lack there
of) is due to content knowledge
or language proficiency.
- Instruction + Assessment Combined
- Instead of an "autoposy" of
their knowledge, it is a give
and take "living" process.
- A more organic experience where
students receive instruction and
feedback as they work on their
product. The two are not clearly
separated.
- REQUIRES formative feedback.
- Scaffolding
- Instead of an "autoposy" of
their knowledge, it is a give
and take "living" process.
