    Authentic Assessment That Works


    Educators are searching for more authentic ways of assessing learning
    similar to what occurs in real life situations. Simultaneously, stakeholders
    are demanding transparency and accountability from educators. This book
    is therefore timely and seeks to fill that gap by clarifying what authentic
    assessment is and providing readers with step-by-step live examples.
    Teachers can learn to assess the kinds of skills and knowledge that
    students need in real life situations. This book takes you right to the heart
    of authentic assessment, thus saving you precious time and energy. Issues
    regarding validity and reliability are addressed and readers can select from
    the examples provided which authentic tasks they wish to use. The ideas
    presented in this book are drawn from over 45 years of academic
    experience, practising across all continents and operating at all levels: early
    childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary. Using a constructivist
    paradigm, students are able to experience personal growth and
    development; make sense of their own experiences; and find endless
    opportunities to self express and self actualise
