Alternative assessment is an ongoing process that involves both the student and the teacher by using non-conventional strategies such as collaborative learning, portfolio assessment, or K-W-L charts. It provides assessment that is authentic to the student and it best resembles the classroom setting. These types of assessments focus on documenting individual student growth over time with an emphasis on the students' strengths rather than their weaknesses.
  • Oral Performances or Presentations- This form of assessment are conducted during one on one or group interviews, oral reports, or role-plays.
  • Portfolio Assessment- It provides the teacher and the student with a "see how far the student has come" concept. 
  • K-W-L Charts- These charts focus on what the student already knows and builds on that prior knowledge.
