Anyone know anything about authentic assessment?
I received an invite to a talk and am wondering whether to go. It sounds
interesting. 

Talk is by Dinah Gieske of the Coalition of Essential Schools. She is a teacher
at University Heights High School, New York.

The blurb for the talk goes like this, the expected outcomes from this approach
are:-

* effective expression and communication
* self-awareness and self-esteem
* taking responsibility and preparing for the future
* social interaction and effective citizenship
* critical thinking and problem solving
* cultural and historical involvement
* valuing and ethical decision making

Sounds a bit like what I am trying to achieve anyway ---->>> anyone familiar
with this approach? It sounds like a reaction again Basic Skills Testing in the
USA (now being introduced in Australia).
