Abstract: | Presents a framework for authenticity that informed co-design of a project-based 9th-grade English Language Arts course. A qualitative study examined ways teachers and students experienced authenticity. Three types of authenticity contributed to engagement and learning: being (1) authentic to self through opportunities for choice and agency; (2) authentic to others by addressing audiences through public performances and products; (3) providing opportunities to use authentic, genre-specific tools. Challenges to implementation--assessment and disciplinary norms--are discussed. |
