Resource summary

Exploring Authentic Assessments
  1. TASK PERFORMANCE: Students perform tasks to demonstrate application of knowledge and skills
    1. After reading a book together as a class, the ESL teacher asks students to draw a picture of the scene or character that stood out to them in the book. Students are then asked to guess their classmate's drawings based on what they know about the reading.
    2. RUBRIC: Teachers evaluate student performance based on rubrics
      1. The ESL teacher asks students to create poster presentations for the content from their science curriculum. The teacher creates a rubric for the projects with points earned for creativity, correct use of information, presentation, and organization.
      2. STANDARDS: Identifying standards that students should be able to complete should determine what tasks will be used to help students meet those standards
        1. An ESL teacher designs a speaking activity after identifying that students are struggling with demonstrating verbal proficiency with past tense verbs.
        2. KNOW VS. USE: It is important for students to use the knowledge they learn rather than just knowing it as information
          1. A group of ML students are on a field trip with their ESL teacher. They stop at a restaurant where students read the menu and place orders. They interact with the cashiers, using what they have learned in ESL classes.
          2. MULTIPLE AND VARIED ASSESSMENTS: By using a variety of measurements, students demonstrate different abilities across different domains so educators can capture a full picture of the students' abilities
            1. An ESL teacher has students work in pairs and take turns reading small passages to each other. The students then critique each other on their reading of the passages based on a rubric given by the teacher. The teacher then has the class write a short summary of the content of the reading passages.
            2. ASSESSMENT DRIVES THE CURRICULUM: Authentic assessments allow for ongoing evaluation of student progress, which allows educators to target areas of need early and apply appropriate interventions to address the need
              1. An ESL teacher has students perform speaking and writing activities daily to assess comprehension of reading and listening. The teacher notices that one of the students always correctly writes verbs with silent "e" at the end, yet they pronounce the "e" when speaking the verbs. The teacher is able to pull the student aside to address their speaking proficiency of silent "e" verbs.
