Authentic Assessment in Action - Studies of Schools and Students at Work

This book examines, through case studies of elementary and secondary schools, how five schools have developed "authentic" performance-based assessments of students' learning, and how this work has interacted with and influenced the teaching and learning experiences students encounter in school. This important and timely book reveals the changing dynamics of classroom life as it moves from more traditional pedagogy to one that asks students to master intellectual and practical skills that are eminently transferable to "real-life" social settings and workplaces.
