Authentic Asessments
I do like authentic assessments quite a bit, it is important in my own profession of law enforcement. Authentic assessment is a type of assessment in which students use their understanding of a subject to solve real world situations and problems. This is what law enforcement officers have to do every day, in my opinion.
James,
You are right, that type of assessment is very important for your area. You want your students to apply their knowledge and/or skills to the real world.

James,
Yes authentic assessment I think also is about common sense, intuition, talent in combination with experience and with that gained knowledge.
Thank you.

Kelly,
I agree with you and I would include the application to real world situations. Learning to use all of those tools to apply new knowledge or skills.
