=Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

Role: You are an instructor/teacher creating a unit in your content area. Audience: The target audience is your administrative unit. Situation: The challenge involves dealing with change, breaking tradition, and implementing units in your classroom. Product/Presentation: You will create a unit in your instructional field in order to show understanding of the Common Core, UBD's, and Standards Based Reporting system. You need to develop and plan a unit that is backwards planned, with Common Core standards and accompanying rubrics to allow for Standards Based Reporting. This unit must be posted on the provided Wiki for comment and feedback. Standards (criteria from both rubrics): Your product must meet the national teaching standards, and School unit rubrics for instruction, and design. •NBPTS Core Proposition 1: standards 1.1 - 1.4, NBPTS Core Proposition 2: Standards 2.1 - 2.3, NBPTS Core Proposition 3: standards 3.1 - 3.4, NBPTS Core Proposition 4: standard 4.1. || •Administrative Conference: meeting with teacher to go over unit and questions. •Rubric software - Ruby Star rubric maker to create new unit rubrics. • Big Blue Walk-through: I-pad walk through assessment • E-Portfolio: In this portfolio there is evidence of the unit, student work, teacher preparation and thought process. || • Checking for Understanding: Pre/post conference, Walk through feedback, Announced and unannounced visits • Timely Feedback ( Self-assessment, Peer-feedback, Teacher feedback) This occurs during, before, and immediately following observations and walk throughs. • Reflection (Self-reflection)feedback from wiki, both from peers, administration, and self reflection. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=
