Alternative assessment has many advantages and strengths, and it provides innumerable benefits and opportunities to students. It bears a closer and more authentic relationship to the evaluation of real-world tasks, providing more genuine accountability to student evaluations. Ideally, it results in increased collaboration and engages students and teachers in active roles. Teachers can serve as facilitators and coaches, and the involvement of students and parents is expanded (Donovan et al., 2002). Teachers can observe students' actual performances or "high-fidelity simulations of actual performance" (Simon & Gregg, 1993). They can derive information directly from interactions and observations with students and the learning activities and tasks they are involved in.
