Evidence 1: Rubric for PowerPoint Rubric Rationale 1: The rubric for the PowerPoint was given to the students at the beginning of the unit. This way, the students knew exactly what was expected from them. It allowed them to self monitor their performance throughout the PowerPoint project. It also was a tool for me to informally assess them throughout their work days. In the end, the rubric served as a summative assessment tool.

KSD 8.K.3 The teacher understands measurement theory and assessment-related issues, such as validity, reliability, bias, and scoring concerns. The rubric allowed me to fairly and accurately score my students’ performance. It took out any bias I might have, and it was a very valid method of assessing my students.

8.S.3 The teacher uses assessment strategies to involve learners in self-assessmetn activities, to help them become aware of their strengths and needs, and to help them to set personal golas for learning. The students used the rubric to self assess their performance throughout the unit. In the end, the students self-assessed their work, using the rubric, along with my assessment of their work.

8.D.1 The teacher values ongoing assessment as essential to the instructional process and recognizes that many different assessment strategies, accurately and systemically used, are necessary for monitoring and promoting student learning. Throughout the unit, I used formative assessment by using anecdotal notes, pre-assessments, quizzes and homework. I used the rubric as a way to both formatively assess and summatively assess the students.
