Ongoing assessments for EB
are essential to have a better
picture of the students skills as
opposed to standardized.
Performance based assessments and
portifolio assessments are a great way to be
able to assess students. And for students to
have their content knowledge to be assessed.

Why Authentic Assessment should be used?
In order for us to measure
students and the construction of
their knowledge by enabling them
to demonstrate their knowledge.
For example with emergent bilinguals
using the workshop methos ad asll as
assessing them based on what they are
doing allows students that are EB to be
assessed based on whzt they are doing
rather than a defiicet model.
Authentic assessment enables
teachers to make sure that the
students are able to use the
acquired knowledge not just
"know the content"
The workshop model allows for students
to spend majority of the time
demonstrating their knowledge such as
writing in this example.
How to create authentic assessment
Having a rubric for the
task.
Having rubrics allows for students to be assessed
and then it used to demonstrate to instructor what
the student knows and also where instruction
should go from there.
Allows for EB to be assessed and the for them to even focus on the goals they may have for themsleves
which relates to also having students set a goal for themsleves and acquirirng a language,
What is authentic assessment?
Assessment that is task driven and
that is being used to assess the
assessment being done by the
students performing the task.
Traditional vs. Authentic Assessment,
authentic assessment drives curriculum
because it is used to shape your
curriculum and the lessons you develop.
