The document discusses implementing alternative assessment in schools. It begins by outlining an agenda to introduce notions of alternative assessment, identify its main features, describe sample tools, and explore implementation. Notions like formative assessment and portfolios are defined. Alternative assessment is described as more continuous, authentic, and providing feedback compared to traditional tests. Sample alternative assessment tools include self-record keeping, peer feedback, portfolios, and performance assessments. The roles of teachers in providing guidelines and learners in staying on task are also outlined. Criteria for evaluating presentations are suggested as an example. Finally, the document prompts discussing implementing these tools in one's own school context.
