    An assessment is authentic if it can be applied Beyond the confines of the classroom. #sblchat

    RT Q1 - What makes an assessment authentic or useful? How and when do you determine it? #sblchat

    A1 An ass't is useful when it provides information that can be used to guide learning &/or teaching or when it certifies learning. #sblchat
  • CaseyStansifer May 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT

    Student voice should be involved in the assessment process. #sblchat

    A1 Relevance. An assessment must engage the learner, and elicit quality evidence of their learning. #sblchat
  • mrsprebble84 May 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    (2/2) Making it certain that you are assessing the skill, not culture, Economic status or reading ability (unless that's the A). #sblchat
  • CoachLesterBHS May 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Hopefully we do. Lesser teachers blame students as "lazy" or worse as "stupid." It took me years to realize it was my fault. #sblchat

    Authentic means an assessment is not simply processed to fulfill a teacher's assignment. Could be useful, but likely playing school #sblchat
