Authentic Assessment

Prepare a 3 page research-based and professional practice-based rationale that supports the use of authentic types of assessments.  (By "professional practice" we mean the literature written by educators who describe how and why they use authentic assessment methods).
Please examine multiple strategies of authentic assessment, including student-centered and teacher-centered scenarios, as well as self-assessment, surveys, and portfolios.

This rationale is to clearly address each of the following:
1.  What is "authentic assessment"?
2.  What is a specific example of an authentic assessment that you would (or do) use in your (current or future) classroom?
3.  How is authentic assessment different from traditional assessment measures?
4.  What are the benefits / advantages of authentic assessments over traditional assessment measures?

Assignment Expectations
Your research and professionally-based rationale is to clearly illustrate your understanding of authentic assessments - as depicted in the background information reading.
Use a number of resources from the research and professional literature to support your claims. In particular:
You are to use a minimum of 2 articles / resources from the literature (These may include the readings provided for you on the background information page).
You are to appropriately cite and list your supporting references.

Constructivism

Congratulations! You have been hired for your ideal teaching position, in your ideal school district.

Living up to your "ideal" expectations, your new school district has been selected to host a panel discussion among a number of leading, world renown, scholars in education. Leading this panel discussion will be Eric Von Glasserfeld, L. S. Vygotsky (miraculously brought to life and speaking fluent English through a new procedure developed by NASA), and Jerome Bruner.

To your dismay, you find that your excitement about this opportunity is not shared among your colleagues. Upon a meeting with your principal, you learn why - Unfortunately, your colleagues are not well-informed on the insights that these famous scholars have contributed to our understanding of constructivist-based teaching and learning. You begin to realize that while your colleagues speak of constructivism regularly, they are not well-informed of its foundations or the various perspectives from which constructivism is often interpreted.

Given your insights and interest in this area, your principal has asked you to assist her in preparing your colleagues for this "once in a lifetime" opportunity.  

Illustrates the following different perspectives of constructivism:
1)Radical Constructivism
2)Social Constructivism
3)Cognitive Constructivism
Who is the key theorist associated with each perspective?
How does each theorist believe knowledge is constructed and/or learning occurs?
Supplement your presentation with a narrative depiction of what you will be "saying".

Philiosophy of Education

A teaching philosophy is a summary statement in which one reflects on how they teach and why. You will begin to develop your teaching philosophy by reflecting on and responding to the following:
How do you teach?
Why?  
Importantly, your discussion of "Why" you teach this way is to draw from your insights toward learning theories, as well as your insights on learning, education, and knowledge -that you gained in the previous two modules.
