Authentic Assessment
Authentic assessment is an umbrella concept that refers to the measurement of intellectual

with the student by engaging student voice. When applying authentic assessment to student
learning and achievement, a teacher applies criteria related to construction of knowledge,
disciplined inquiry, and the value of achievement beyond the school. (Wikipedia)
Effective teaching is grounded in the development of successful classroom strategies. Among
the skills required of an effective school teacher is the use of classroom management, planning
and assessment of students. Examples of authentic assessments include:
* Performance of the skills, or demonstrating use of a particular knowledge
* Simulations and role plays
* Studio portfolios, strategically selecting items
* Exhibitions and displays
Assessment is changing for many reasons. Changes in the skills and knowledge needed for
success, in our understanding of how students learn, and in the relationship between assessments
and instruction is changing our learning goals for students and schools. We must change our
assessment strategies to tie assessment design and content to new outcomes and purpose for
assessment.
Strategies to achieve good organization of the classroom as well as rules and procedures, effective communication and monitoring student’s behavior.
