Knowledge Assessment

Our approach to knowledge assessment for individuals with street knowledge or experiential skills encompasses the following strategies:

1. Recognition of Prior Learning:

• We understand that individuals may acquire knowledge and skills through non-traditional means, such as real-life experiences, self-study, or informal learning.
• We have established a process to recognize and validate this prior learning, enabling individuals to showcase their skills and knowledge gained outside formal education settings.

2. Portfolio Assessment:

• For individuals with street knowledge or experiential skills, we offer the opportunity to create a portfolio that highlights their practical experiences, projects, and achievements.
• This portfolio allows them to demonstrate their expertise and showcase their capabilities in a tangible and comprehensive manner.

3. Practical Assessments:

• We design assessments that emphasize practical application rather than theoretical knowledge.
• These assessments may include hands-on tasks, simulations, case studies, or real-world projects, allowing individuals to demonstrate their problem-solving abilities, critical thinking skills, and application of knowledge in practical scenarios.

4. Performance-Based Assessments:

• In addition to traditional exams or quizzes, we offer performance-based assessments that evaluate individuals’ skills and abilities in real-time.
• This may involve demonstrations, presentations, or interactive assessments that require individuals to apply their knowledge in practical situations.

5. Flexible Assessment Formats:

• We recognize that individuals with street knowledge or experiential skills may have different learning styles and preferences.
• We offer flexibility in assessment formats, allowing individuals to choose options that best align with their strengths and preferred modes of expression, such as written assignments, oral presentations, visual demonstrations, or multimedia projects.

6. Individualized Assessments:

• We strive to create an individualized assessment approach that acknowledges the unique strengths and experiences of each learner.
• We take into account their specific background, skills, and knowledge, tailoring assessments to their particular areas of expertise and interest.

7. Expert Evaluation:

• Our assessment process involves expert evaluators with extensive experience and understanding of street knowledge and experiential skills.
• These evaluators are trained to assess and recognize the value of non-traditional forms of learning, ensuring fair and accurate evaluations.

By implementing these strategies, we ensure that individuals with street knowledge or experiential skills have equal opportunities to showcase their abilities and receive recognition for their unique expertise within the Academy of Wisdom’s knowledge assessment process.
