Authentic+Assessment+Bibliography

'Manda's picks thus far... []

Ball State University’s comprehensive paper on designing an assessment plan, chapter 5 is specifics re: authentic assessment. (In-depth, but readable.)

[]

Comprehensive list detailing: target of method, advantages, disadvantages, ways to reduce disadvantages, bottom line, and some bib info… for almost every known style of evaluation/assessment. Handy, clear cut bullet points…but lot’s of ‘em. Used selectively, like a dictionary, it will be a friend…otherwise, a bit much.

Authentic Assessment: A Solution, or Part of the Problem? (David E. Tanner – Cal state, Fresno)… on ebsco

Good read, balanced, good bib page.

Preparing Students for Future Learning -Ending Hit-and-Run Testing: ETS Sets Out to Revolutionize Assessment -Reinventing the Big Test: The Challenge of Authentic Assessment (my fav!)
