Authentic Assessment and ELLs
- What Is It?
- Traditional
- Goal is for students to possess a certain body of knowledge and skills
- Multiple choice, fill in the blank, true false, recall oriented
- Goal is for students to possess a certain body of knowledge and skills
- Authentic
- Meaningful
- Performing real world tasks
- Meaningful
- Traditional
- Why use AA?
- We don't just want students to know facts and content.
We want them to know how to use their knowledge.
- Fits with the well researched
constructivist model of teaching and
learning
- Ingregation of teaching, learning, and assessment: Within the
assessments, students are learning and demonstrating their ability
to apply concepts, as the teachers are facilitating.
- Allows for multiple ways of demonstrating knowledge
that plays to everyone's strengths
- We don't just want students to know facts and content.
We want them to know how to use their knowledge.
- How do you Implement?
- 1. Standards: What should the students know and be able to
do
- 2. Authentic Tasks: Determine what tasks will demonstrate if the
students have met the standards.
- 3. Criteria: What does good
performance look like?
- 4. Rubric: For providing what is expected for minimum levels of performance and for
providing feedback and providing information for adjusting instruction
- 1. Standards: What should the students know and be able to
do
- Authentic Tasks for ELLs
- Constructed Response: Concept maps, making predictions, journal response, homework
reflections
- Product: Projects, design of an advertisement, etc, timelines, map
construction, poster of a literary character analysis
- Performance: Skits, role plays, debates
- Create assessments that lean toward: Performing a task, real-life, requiring application,
student-structured, providing direct evidence
- Constructed Response: Concept maps, making predictions, journal response, homework
reflections
- Why Use AA with ELLs?
- Fits with constructivist model of learning
- Allows students to demonstrate what they know in various forms
without being consistently at a disadvantage in traditional testing by a lack
of academic English.
- Allows for assessing meaningful learning within scaffolded
instruction, which we know is what ELLs need to access
grade level curriculum.
- Can lower the affective filter for ELLs, because Authentic Assessment does not rely solely
on traditional multiple choice and true/false, etc. tests. They have the chance to feel
success and use their strengths.
- Provides a better picture of what meaningful skills the students actually have
vs. what they may be able to recall in English on a traditional test.
- Fits with constructivist model of learning
