Educational Psychology / Unit 8   EDP 0749 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Alternative Assessment

Captions available

The idea

Students with disabilities may be assessed through alternatives such as portfolios, regular brief observation and checks run by an assistant, and each raises the question of fairness to other students.

In practice

A student who cannot write at length shows learning through a portfolio of recorded explanations.

Where people slip

Such alternatives need planning, since each must still show what the student has learned.
