Benard (1995), suggests , the most promising
alternative approaches focus on students assets
(including their background and prior experiences),
varied teaching strategies, and meaningful learning in collaborative settings.

Alternative Assessment:
•Alternative to traditional paper and pencil testing
•Reveals students critical thinking and evaluation skills
•Open ended tasks
•Teacher created
•Inextricably tied to curriculum.

Formative Assessment:
•Practice assessment in non-threaten ways
•Underpinned by successful outcomes for all students
•Opportunities to reflect
•High level of student contribution

Teachers Response:
“Ensure the students experience success, thus gaining
confidence”
“Individualized Assessment”
![Page 13: ess](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070302/5480c5bcb4af9fc63f8b4669/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Traditional assessment is failing our at risk students.
Alternative Assessment contains key educational advantages.
Teachers Agree.
…Step Further…
Positive relationship between ‘at risk’ students and alternative assessment
![Page 14: ess](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070302/5480c5bcb4af9fc63f8b4669/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
At Risk Students: Generally fail in standardized testing methods
According to Education reforms (1994), alternative assessment
“Has the students demonstrate what they have learnt rather than how well they can
take a test.”
![Page 15: ess](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070302/5480c5bcb4af9fc63f8b4669/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
At risk student: Generally display negative behaviours. Most of the time this is just a mask of larger underlying
problems.
Benard (1995), states alternative assessment will focus on strengths
(including their backgrounds and prior experiences) rather than deficits. By highlighting the student’s strengths
intrinsic motivation is developed. Thus, behaviour issues decrease.
![Page 16: ess](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070302/5480c5bcb4af9fc63f8b4669/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
At risk students: They often attend schools where there is a low
expectation placed on them to succeed.
Alternative assessment holds high expectations for all learners. Assessment is designed in
conjunction with students so that all learners can achieve to their highest agreed upon
potential. “Schools that establish and communicate high expectations and create high achieving learning environments for all students have high rates of academic success”(Howard,
1990).
![Page 17: ess](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070302/5480c5bcb4af9fc63f8b4669/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
At risk Students: Students generally have difficulty in making and
maintain relationships
According to Learning Points Associates, (2003) “alternative assessment focuses on meaningful
learning in collaborative settings”. The instruction connects with the student’s culture
and prior knowledge thus engaging the students and making it meaningful in their own
context. Collaborate learning also allows the students opportunities to form and maintain
relationships with other peers.
![Page 18: ess](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070302/5480c5bcb4af9fc63f8b4669/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
At risk students: Students seem distracted and don’t have interest in educational activities. This is generally because they
spend much of their time thinking about issues outside of the classroom.
Alternative assessment offers opportunities for varied teaching strategies. “There are 3
variations of alternative assessment and in any given tasks more than one form may be
involved” (Alternative Assessment Overview (2008). Using a variety of strategies caters for a
diverse group of learners.
![Page 19: ess](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070302/5480c5bcb4af9fc63f8b4669/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
At risk students: Students need real life connections to content if they are to participate in the learning activity.
Alternative assessment ensures students are active participants in making tasks authentic. According to Teaching Today
(2008), “Students evaluate and reflect on their own processes, and actively help set
the criteria for the assessment”.

What Do these words mean to you?
• Think about the hard work and dedication required to implement them
• Think about the lives you could help change
•Think about the opportunities you can help to create
• Perhaps even the lives you will save
At Risk students desperately need you help to succeed……

Time to make your judgment….
Stand up, work hard, and deliver meaningful, authentic, active,
engaging, motivating, alternative assessment practices that
hold high expectations
And achieve success for at risk students
