Session Info:

Alternative or authentic assessments help determine what students can and cannot do, not just what they know or do not know. They allow the student to meet us where they are and not where we expect them to be. With the pandemic forcing students and teachers to approach learning through a new lens, using unique assessments allows students to showcase their abilities, not just knowledge.

Session Outcomes:

  • An understanding of indicators of authenticity.
  • Ideas of how to integrate activities that ask students to “do” the subject.
  • An overview of the time and effort to develop and grade authentic assessments.
