Week 8 Website Abstract

Authentic Assessment Toolbox

http://jfmueller.faculty.noctrl.edu/toolbox/index.htm

The Authentic Assessment Toolbox created by Jon Mueller, a Professor of Psychology at North Central College, is a great resource for teachers and educators looking to implement authentic assessment in their classes. The site explains what authentic assessment is and then provides instruction on how to create authentic tasks, rubrics, portfolios, and tests. Examples are also provided to give other educators an idea of how they can create authentic learning and assessment and apply it to their standards. The examples come from other educators who participated in Professor Jon Mueller’s classes. Professor Mueller also offers “workshops” that let you practice how to write a good standard, create an authentic task, and create a good rubric.
