1) The use of authentic assessment represents an effort to change assessment from a negative event, in which knowledge and people are measured, to a positive process, by which knowledge is applied and people are valued.
2) Effective educational practices do not begin with assessment. Instead, they begin with instructional commitment to student learning. Authentic assessment has a lot of real world connections and are viewed in more of a observable presentation.
3) In an authentic assessment the classroom conversations must center around student work and to assess what has actually been learned. There has to be a variety of levels they must communicate between and they include: public, parents, other educators, teachers, and the students.
1) I think oral presentations of mastery are a great idea to implement in the classroom. Not only are they able to demonstrate what they've learned, but they are also learning other skills like crowd engagement, proper etiquette, speaking skills, body language, etc. This goes back to kind of authentic assessment, it's not just about the content.
2) The code sheet seems like an interesting thing to possibly try in order to save time on grading papers, that way you can spend more time planning. I would have to do some test runs before I became a believer but I do like the concept enough to want to try it.
1) Is there any particular type of assessment we should focus on more than another? I know they are all important but are there any that stand out amongst the rest that are most effective and show the most growth, etc.?
