Authentic Learning and Assessment

Authentic learning is the theme that runs through the ideas of meaningfulness and motivation. Students need to care about what they're doing. They need "buy in" for a project to become engaging. Consider ways to make your classroom part of the "real world" through meaningful assignment, activities, audiences, and assessments.
