While it’s good to have some background knowledge, it is much more important to be able to use what you know in a variety of real life situations.
Because real life is full of real life situations—really!
If a student makes or repairs something—a window
frame, a dance, a project report, a CAD drawing, a
poem, or a gourmet meal—a teacher should be able to
detail the skills that went into doing that work and
assess the student on the whole product and
performance as well as its component parts. A teacher
might also know how much new learning occurred
since the previous assessment occurred and how the
student acquired that new learning. Such assessments
authenticate for the student what she knows and
validates for the teacher what the student knows and
how she knows what she knows—not only the student’s
know-what but know-how and even know-why.
