GRASP in Assessment

 

 

Checklist for authentic tasks
• The task addresses or assesses targeted standards
• The task calls for understanding and transfer of knowledge, not just recall or following a formula
• The task requires extended thinking – not just an answer
• The task has a meaningful, real-world context for application of knowledge and skills, i.e. includes realist purpose, a target audience and genuine constraints
• The task includes criteria/rubric targeting indicators for understanding and successful performance, i.e. criteria do not focus on superficial things such as neatness
• The task directions are clear
• The task allows students to demonstrate their understanding with some appropriate choice (e.g. of products or performances).
