Almost all of the students in this class, including me, found  this book to be a very valuable resource.  Some of the information is  redundant, but for a teacher looking for ideas on how to construct an  authentic assessment of student work (reading, writing, speaking or  listening) it is full of great insights and models that can be copied  from the book or revised for individual use.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heidi Rogers<\/strong> (Indiana, USA)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This book is awesome for any teacher.  Not only does it discuss many  aspects dealing with authentic assessment and the importance of it, but  it also gives many examples of how it can be used in an actual classroom  (more  applicable to LA learning, however it can be used with any  subject).  I  loved this book because it will be a great resource for my  classroom.  I  reccommend it to any teacher.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Authentic-Assessment-English-Language-Learners\/dp\/0201591510\/ref=pd_sim_b_2\" target=\"_blank\">Get more information on J.
