This program explores the nature of authentic assessment and
its impact on curriculum and instruction; identifies the economic and political pressures
for accountability, which have driven school systems to adopt inadequate approaches to
assessment; and highlights alternative assessment strategies and tools—those that
help teachers make good instructional decisions, as well as those that help students
develop self-monitoring and self-assessment strategies of their own. Many standardized
tests currently in use are administratively efficient and psychometrically accurate, but
for a variety of reasons have served to distort instruction and the definition of the
achieving student. This program addresses the need for alternative instruments of
assessment—assessment that is multidimensional and longitudinal, involves use of
educational resources, addresses possibilities for improvement, reflects good classroom
practice, and demonstrates clear standards shared by teachers and students. (42 minutes,
