WHAT IS IT?
"Authentic Assessment challenges learners to demonstrate, in a meaningful way, what they have learned and what they are able to do with that newly acquired knowledge.” (Grassian, 2009)

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
"Authentic Assessment is supported by the cognitive/constructivist approach to learning." (Grassian, 2009)
- The Cognitive/Constructivist approach suggests that assessment move away from the "test" (where students learn mainly to become good test takers) and instead "demonstrate, in a meaningful way, what they have learned and what they are able to do with that newly acquired knowledge." (Grassian, 2009)
YOU ARE NO LONGER JUST
"TEACHING THE TEST"
o True life scenarios that foster critical thinking
o Becomes about the process rather than the outcome
o Allows the student to have a greater role in their learning
o Appeals to students by giving them the freedom they crave
o Allows for Differentiation

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT?
Portfolios Rubrics Graphic Organizers Checklists Rating Scales Conferences Logs Notes & Letters
AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT Graphic Organizers
VISUAL REPRESENTATIONSo Active learning by doingo Student directed construction of
knowledge
PURPOSEo Construction of knowledgeo Formative assessment
ATTRIBUTESo Informalo Personalo Unpolishedo Exploratoryo Ungraded
GRAPHIC ORGANIZERSo “Many students have trouble connecting
or relating new information to prior knowledge because they cannot remember things.”
o “Graphic organizers help them remember because they make abstract ideas more visible and concrete.”Scott, J. url: www.calpro-online.org/eric/docs/custer/custer5.pdf
CLUSTERINGo Key term in centero Free associationo Helps to make connections and recall
prior knowledge
CLUSTERING MAP
SEMANTIC MAPSo Idea map or diagramo Helps with remembering concepts,
connections, and termso Memorization aid
SEMANTIC MAP
STORY MAPS o Chronologic mapping of events
STORY MAP
VENN DIAGRAM o Visual representation of similarities and
differences

TIME LINESo Chronologicalo Add illustrations

RUBRICS AS TOOLSo Authentic assessment of the performance of a
student
o Lists tasks to be evaluatedo Provides specific criteria to evaluate each
task/component
o Point values are assigned to each criteria

6 STEPS TO CREATE A RUBRIC
1. Determine the performance objective (i.e. learning objectives)o Elements:
Student performance Conditions Criteria
2. Identify the tasks that will be required

3. Determine the different levels of qualityo Examples:
Poor, Average, Excellent Beginning, Developing, Accomplished, Exemplary Poor, Fair, Average, Very Good, Excellent
4. Determine the criteria for each level of quality within a task
5. Assign a point value for each level and a total point value for the rubric

GET STUDENTS INVOLVED Present models of student work Discuss what qualities make the work good Discuss and choose criteria for assessment
What is important?
Draft rubric and have students practice using it on sample works
Revise the rubric Use the rubric to instruct
Guide students Assess (teacher and self)

SO WHERE DO I START?
Performance-based Tasks
Collaborate with your School Librarian!
WHAT ARE PERFORMANCE-BASED TASKS?
Assignments we can give our students that focus more on the process (or performance) rather than the product.
PERFORMANCE-BASED TASKS:
Papers Presentations (PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.) Voicethreads Screencasts Video (PhotoStory3, Animoto, iMovie, etc.) Blogs Websites (Weebly, Glogster) Storymapping
COLLABORATION
Authentic Assessment is labor intensive, this is where your School Librarian comes in – you don't have to do it alone.
Utilize them, they want to help you!
