Abstract
For teachers and students to monitor student learning, assessment should be frequent and realistic, and it should involve students. Assessment should allow students to show how they know, not just what they know. Other terms that are synonymous with or similar to alternative assessment are authentic assessment, integrative assessment, holistic assessment, and assessment for learning (Butler and McMunn in A teacher’s guide to classroom assessment: Understanding and using assessment to improve student learning. Jossey-Bass, San Francisco, CA 2006).
