Looking to do something different than traditional summative assessment? Digital portfolios, exit interviews, presentations of learning, etc. Come see what a few people at OKM have done and explore potential Alternate Summative Assessments for your classes.
What has Happened at OKM?

Portfolios:
Portfolios can be used as an authentic assessment tool in the classroom, or as a method to showcase your professional accomplishments. This collection of articles and resources will help your students build portfolios to demonstrate what they've learned so that you can monitor their progress with fewer tests. There are also resources for collecting your professional accomplishments to provide potential employers with an example of your work. - Teacher Vision

Presentations of Learning:
We ask the students to reflect and present upon the previous semester and to describe the challenges they have experiences and the growth that they have seen in themselves. They can provide evidence through project artifacts, their Digital Portfolio, anecdotally, or other various means of convincing us that they have used their time well this semester.
