The two assessments styles I would like to use in my classrooms are Real-World and Self assessments. I think that the real world assessments allow students to feel that they are getting unbiased and honest feedback. The people in the outside the classroom world will not know the student personally and can therefore give an honest open opinion. Sometimes students within a classroom have certain biased feeling toward another student and sway their feedback based on those biased feelings. I also feel that students will get a feeling of accomplishment when something they put out to the world is accepted and thought of as important enough to elicit a comment.
Self assessment is also important because students need to be able to look inside themselves and be honest about what they see. Students seem to have many excuses as to why they can't complete certain assignements or to what standard they are working at. If they were taught at a younger age how to look at their work and honestly assess it they should be able to understand where their weakness are without causing an argument when the teacher assesses them from their point of view.
