I don't think we should standardize anything, including good ideas like authentic assessment. That's when it gets bastardized. Ten different schools or classrooms can practice 10 different kinds of authentic assessment and all be meaninful to students, depending on the individuals involved. BTW, what is miscue evaluation?
