Authentic Assessment for Emergent Bilinguals
  1. What is it?
    1. Authentic assessments are performance-based assessments that require students to apply their knowledge in creative and meaningful ways to demonstrate proficiency.
    2. Criteria
      1. Keep it to a minimum! Criteria should be essential to the task at hand, whether that Intel's 10 different criteria or 4.
        1. Keeping criteria simple and straightforward explicitly outlines expectations for EBs and allows them to monitor their own progress and measure their abilities with as little confusion as possible.
        2. Share criteria with students before they begin the given task. This allows EBs know exactly what is expected of them and outlines exactly what they should be able to produce.
          1. When working with EBs, it may be beneficial to involve them in creating the criteria for their tasks so that they feel a sense of ownership over their work. Allowing EBs to take part in creating criteria also switches their motivation from being extrinsic to intrinsic, increasing their determination to be successful.
        3. Why do it?
          1. These assessments provide direct evidence of a student's ability to apply the things they have learned in real-world contexts.
            1. When working with EBs, this way of collecting data is vital to ensuring that they understand new content and can then use it as a resource in their day to day lives.
            2. They allow for multiple avenues of demonstration of knowledge.
              1. This is an essential component of assessing EB students because it gives them the flexibility to showcase their knowledge in a way that works best for them.
              2. Authentic assessments integrate teaching, learning, and assessment.
                1. Instead of tests being given after content has been covered and knowledge is (expected to be) acquired, the real-world tasks students perform and complete during the exploration / learning process are used as a measurement of their proficiency.
                  1. In relation to portfolios, EBs can look back on all of the work they have done over time and choose which artifacts best demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of a topic rather than memorizing definitions and certain formulas for multiple choice tests.
                2. How do you do it?
                  1. STEP 1: Identify the CONTENT standards for assessment and develop student-friendly "I can" statements (in home and target langauge).
                    1. STEP 2 :Select or create an authentic task that aligns with the standards being assessed. This can be done from scratch or can be an enhanced / re-vamped to become authentic. Make sure it is relatable!
                      1. STEP 3: Identify the criteria in which student progress and achievement will be measured. These will be used to determine how well each student has mastered a standard. INVOLVE STUDENTS IN THIS PROCESS.
                        1. STEP 4: Determine the type of rubric that should be used and create that rubric using the criteria from the previous step.
                          1. STEP 5: Use assessments to guide future instruction!!
                  2. What does it look like?
                    1. Performing a task
                      1. Instead of selecting a response on a multiple choice test, students are asked to perform a task related to the content standard(s) being assessed.
                        1. Performing tasks requires a depth of understanding in order to be successful. EB students can be presented with a task in their home language to ensure they understand what is being asked of them. That way their performance is not hindered by a language barrier.
                      2. Student Structured
                        1. Authentic assessments redirect students' focus from what's on the test to everything they are capable of doing,
                          1. When working with EBs, it is important to allow multiple avenues towards success, even if that is as simple as allowing those students to access and/or present information in their home language.
                            1. For example, a newcomer whose home language is German may be able to demonstrate a higher level of mathematical proficiency if they are given word problems in their home language rather than in the target.
                        2. Real-Life Context
                          1. When an assessment presents students with tasks in real-life context, it relates their learning to life outside of school.
                            1. This allows students an opportunity to relate to whatever it is that they are learning, making content more accessible and easier to retain. To do this, teachers must be intentional with getting to know their students.
                              1. When working with EBs, we must also make sure we are culturally competent. In other words, we need to educate ourselves on the cultures represented in our classroom so that we can can use that knowledge to create opportunities for them to personally connect to academic content.
                        3. Portfolios
                          1. This type of authentic assessment allows for a measure of student progress towards certain goals and criteria over an extended period of time through multiple student-selected work samples.
                            1. Portfolios allow EBs to be directly involved in selecting pieces to put in their portfolios, monitoring their growth, and setting achievement goals.
