A concept map is a visual representation of concepts and the relationships between them.

In the context
of communicating authentic assessment results, the map may include key concepts such as effective
communication, transparency, feedback, and engagement. Below are the concepts and their
relationships that might be included in a concept map for this topic:

1. **Effective Communication:**

- **Clarity**: Clearly explaining assessment criteria, results, and feedback.

- **Language**: Using language appropriate for the audience (e.g., students, parents, colleagues).

- **Tone**: Maintaining a professional and constructive tone.

2. **Transparency:**

- **Criteria**: Sharing assessment criteria and standards with students and stakeholders.
