5 Levels of Authentic Student Work
Laurie King
When considering creating authentic learning experiences for students, think about the following five levels of authenticity:
Level One: Student produced a product that is not relevant to objective.
Level Two: Student produced a product that is relevant to objective only.
Level Three: Student produced a product that has value inside the classroom.
Level Four: Student produced a product that has hypothetical value outside the classroom.
Level Five: Student produced a product that has value outside the classroom.
The higher the level, the more authentic the work.
