The teacher is using authentic assessment because she is evaluating the students' ability to read a map in a real-world context (the bus terminal). Portfolio assessment involves gathering and evaluating samples of a student's work over a period of time, while norm-referenced assessment involves comparing a student's performance to the average performance of a group of similar students. These assessments are not being used in this scenario.
