The Need For Authentic Assessments, Gayle Y. Thieman
The Need For Authentic Assessments, Gayle Y. Thieman
Education Faculty Publications and Presentations
As state and local policymakers develop valid assessments, as proposed by Secretary Duncan, I suggest they incorporate criteria of “authentic assessment.” Unlike traditional tests of factual recall, authentic assessments are designed to examine students’ performance on real-world tasks.

Students use ideas and methods of inquiry that are central to the discipline, e.g., doing the work of policy makers, historians, …

Adolescent literacy has remained a relatively hot topic for several years in the field of reading education (Cassidy, Ortlieb, & Shettel, 2010/2011) however, educators remain conflicted about how to maintain high levels of reading motivation.

Findings include information pertaining to: choice of a multitude of reading materials, substantial time to experience aesthetic and engaging reading experiences, and a relevant, challenging curriculum that addresses student needs, personal interests, and motivations.
