Components of Authentic Teaching
1. Construction of Knowledge
– Organizing, synthesizing, interpreting,
explaining, and evaluating information to
convert it into knowledge
2. Disciplined Inquiry
– Collecting information via methods of inquiry
– In-depth understanding via exploring issues and
relationships
– Elaborated communication
3. Value Beyond School

real world issues faced outside of the school
building
4. Implicit View of Students

– (Newmann, 1996; 2003)

What are some ways I can use
authentic teaching strategies in

Authentic Teaching Increases
Student Achievement
Researchers found that authentic teaching improves
1) student scores on conventional tests (Newmann,
Bryk, & Nagaoka, 2001; Smith, Lee, & Newmann,
2001)
2) student motivation to learn (Greene, Miller,
Crowson, Duke, & Akey, 2004; Roeser, Midgley, &
Urdan, 1996).
Authentic interactive instruction increases
achievement for all students, regardless of school
level, size, context, ethnicity or socioeconomic
status (Smith, Lee, & Newmann, 2001).

‘Meaningful and authentic learning’ for
students
is active
(Bransford et al., 2003)
allows for student choice
(Yair, 2000b)
involves social interaction
(Greeno, 1997)
creates an intellectual climate that nurtures and
challenges students and results in high student
engagement
(Hargreaves, 2003; Yair, 2000)
uses inquiry and other techniques that explicitly
help students make sense of content at hand
(Newmann, 2003; Pasley, et al, 2004)
