Pre-save now — released to first readers at launch
Authentic Assessment in the Age of AI examines how artificial intelligence is challenging long-standing assumptions about how schools measure learning. Drawing on research, classroom practice, and practical design principles, it shows how educators can move beyond traditional assignments toward assessments that produce credible evidence of student understanding, reasoning, and application.
Emphasizing that assessment must remain grounded in human judgement, it guides teachers, leaders, and teacher educators in designing tasks that make thinking visible, strengthen feedback, and support fair, defensible evaluation.
