Teacher Notes Lesson 4
Introduction
Teacher should encourage students to think about other projects which have used rubrics both in this class and other classes. Teacher should prompt students to think about how rubrics helped them in their learning and understanding of the project.
Creating Rubrics
Teacher should fully explain what the rubric must contain. It must contain different areas of the Electronic Portfolio as well as levels of proficency for each area. The student's are responsible for coming up with both the areas and proficecny levels. Teacher should remind students to look at rubrics from other projects in the class to help them create their own rubric. Teacher should be walking around helping students and making sure each group is on task. If student's are having difficulty understanding the task, teacher might want to take the time to review other rubrics and state expectations for the EP rubric.
During the creation of the class EP rubric, teacher should make sure that the discussion is focused and each group has a chance to participate. The class should agree on each portion of the rubric. Teacher should make sure students are making themselves a copy of the class rubric. Once the class rubric is finished, teacher should make sure all student's understand the contents of the rubric.
