How do I ensure AUTHENTICITY?
According to the Buck Institute, there are four main ways a project can be authentic. Ideally, projects combine multiple elements of authenticity into a project.
- The project meets a real need in the world beyond the classroom or the products students create are used by real people.
- The project focuses on a problem or an issue or topic that is relevant to students’ lives—the more directly, the better—or on a problem or issue that is actually being faced by adults in the world students will soon enter.
- The project sets up a scenario or simulation that is realistic, even if it is fictitious.
- The project involves tools, tasks, standards, or processes used by adults in real settings and by professionals in the workplace. This criteria for authenticity could apply to any of the above examples of projects.
