The concept of 'authentic assessment' is making an increasing impression in numerous classrooms in North America. Current testing programs are being scrutinized to determine how to move beyond traditional forms of assessment to enhance student learning, understanding, and application of knowledge. The authors of this detailed yet clearly written book provide essential information on how to develop and implement 'authentic assessment' programs, including the involvement in the learning process of not only teachers, students and administrators but also parents and community members.
