ABSTRACT
This chapter explains about the Spanish Civil War. It describes the tragic devastation inflicted on ordinary men and women by the Italian and German air forces. The chapter focuses on the experience on the ground – the mothers who have lost babies, terrified people attempting to flee, the agony of injured animals, and even hopeless individuals who throw their hands up in despair. Authentic assessment has worked in three of the most distinct public schools imaginable. Providing opportunities for authentic assessment is not just about putting on an “innovation” badge; instead, it is a teaching and learning strategy grounded in educational theory and research that will lead to deeper learning and a fairer and more democratic educational system. In fact, traditional assessments are some of the primary causes of academic anxiety for students. Many students find some pleasure in the day-to-day of school, but dread the test-taking experience.
