Discussion Question 1
My interpretation of authentic assessment is that it emphasizes applying information and having children complete a practical activity to show that they have understood the material rather than merely memorization of exam answers. Authentic assessments evaluate pupil achievement in a way that is compatible with the way our fields operate outside of the classroom (Wilbert, 2013). When an evaluation is authentic and the work or project is similar to those encountered in real-world issues, it is considered genuine. Measures like open-ended "I learned" statements, "open-closed" windows, portfolios, laboratory-style evaluations of performance, observation checklists and self-assessment checklists, reflective journal entries, and observation measures like graphs for analyzing conversations are necessary for authentic assessments (Brophy et al, 2018). Instructors must specify the information, abilities, and attitudes that children will be expected to display as well as the assessment's pertinent learning goals in order to create genuine assessments that satisfy the demands of standards-based education. Instructors should next decide on a practical assignment that allows children to put their knowledge and skills to use. Subsequently, instructors must establish the performance metrics, concentrating solely on the fundamental requirements required to fulfill the learning objectives. Lastly, in order to describe the expectations and standards precisely, they must include these factors in an assessment rubric.

Discussion Question 2
There are several approaches for correctly assessing art. I believe that because everyone has a distinct perspective on art, there are a number of difficulties in accurately evaluating it. There is a school of thought that bases assessment on children's originality, while others base it on correctness. The best approach, in my opinion, is to provide input. Feedback to children can take two forms: encouraging remarks or suggestions for improvement. Children can use this input to their upcoming art evaluation tasks. For example, if they received feedback telling them to slow down and take their time so they could color appropriately. That one little remark might elevate their grade or score and alter their appraisal going forward. I would advise the students to
be authentic and imaginative. I'll see to it that children understand that creativity has no boundaries and that anything may be created. For the evaluation, I will point them in the proper path, but I also give them freedom to make things on their own. I believe it's fantastic that they're
able to think creatively and produce original work. Setting and adhering to learning objectives facilitates students' focus and helps them connect their artistic creations to the objectives. Art is enjoyable and individual; it has to be imaginative and reflect the qualities of each child
