How to Communicate?
Authentic Assessment
An authentic assignment is one

that requires application of what
students have learned to a new
situation, and that demands
judgment to determine what
information and skills are relevant
and how they should be used.
How to Communicate?
Authentic assignments often focus
on messy, complex real-world
situations and their accompanying
constraints; they can involve a
real-world audience of
stakeholders or “clients” as well.
According to Grant Wiggins, an
assignment is authentic if is
o realistic
o requires judgment and innovation
o asks the students to “do” the subject
o replicates or simulates the context in which adults are
“tested” in the workplace or civil or personal life
o assesses the student’s ability to efficiently and
effectively use a repertoire of knowledge and skills to
negotiate a complex task
o allows appropriate opportunities to rehearse, practice,
consult resources, and get feedback on and refine
performances and products

(Authentic Assessment)
1.They involve real-world tasks.
2.They are also likely to be more
interesting for students, and thus more
motivating.
3.They can provide more specific and
usable information about what students
have succeeded in learning as well as
what they have not learned.
Examples of Authentic Assessment
Nursing Provide a case study of a patient and ask students to assess and create a plan to care
Business Develop a business/marketing/sales plan for an imaginary or real) company in a student’s area of
interest.

Exercises!
How can assessment results be

communicated in a way that is clear,
concise, compelling, and useful?
Exercises!
If assessment results are positive, how
should they be disseminated and used?
If assessment results are negative, how
should they be disseminated and used?
Exercises!
Once a programmatic change has

been made based on assessment
results, how do we know if this
change was an improvement?
