Everything about Authentic Assessment totally explained
Authentic assessment is an umbrella concept that refers to the measurement of "intellectual accomplishments that are worthwhile, significant, and meaningful," as compared to multiple choice
standardized tests. Authentic assessment can be devised by the teacher, or in collaboration with the student by engaging
student voice. When applying authentic assessment to student learning and achievement, a teacher applies criteria related to “construction of knowledge, disciplined inquiry, and the value of achievement beyond the school.”
