In this Webinar

Authentic assessments require the transfer of knowledge and skills into real-world situations to both measure and motivate student learning. When students are bored with the work they are asked to do, they superficially read texts, casually execute procedures, and cursorily explain their thinking. This detachment makes it increasingly difficult for students to retain learning after the lesson, unit, or year is over and harder for teachers to improve student performance.
