Authentic assessment
- Higher order thinking skills – Bloom’s taxonomy?
- Depth of knowledge in field – central ideas or topics in a discipline (internal authenticity)
- Connectedness to world beyond the classroom – connected to students’ worlds (external authenticity)
- Substantive conversation – talking to learn and deeply understand a topic
- Social support for student achievement – collaboration, high expectations, support for risk, and offering all students opportunity and access to curriculum

DO:
DO NOT:
TELL without SHOWING: Do not describe your assessment to me without showing the student-facing document(s). This will not meet project requirements. Do not include your assessment in your lesson plan. There are 3 separate lesson plans PLUS an assessment. Do not use a previously-created assessment. Do not forget to ensure your assessment is authentic.
SHOW NOT TELL: Link or include in the plan a STUDENT FACING DOCUMENT. Additional context is welcome but not required. If the assessment needs more information, include context. Create your assessment yourself.
