What is Authentic Assessment?
Authentic assessment is a technique that can be used by teachers to assess the overall growth of a student. It evaluates the learning of a student throughout the year, and requires the student to use his knowledge and skill to generate meaningful content. This method helps in inculcating various skills in a student by the use of projects, presentations, journals, etc. Authentic assessment prepares a student for upcoming professional life by inculcating several aspects like deep understanding of knowledge, social skills, problem-solving skills, time management, team work, etc.

Authentic Assessment aims to evaluate students abilities in a real world context. In other words students learn how to apply their skills to authentic tasks and projects.Authentic assessment does not encourage rote learning and passive test- taking. Instead, it focuses on students analytically skills; ability to integrate what they learn; creativity; ability to work collaboratively ; and written and oral expression skills. It values the learning process as much as the finished product.
