  4. Portfolio Assessment • Progress portfolios -- collections of student writing and other evidence of learning -- are for assessing learning progress • Presentation portfolios -- polished examples of end products from a progress portfolio -- are for demonstrating outcomes

  5. Checklists • One assessment strategy is a list of possible learning objectives which could be accomplished through the project. A student chooses her or his objectives, then the student, teacher or both assess progress. • These objectives could come from SCANS competencies, NFF, or a list of GED competencies.

  6. Rubrics The advantages of using rubrics in assessment are that they: • allow assessment to be more objective and consistent focus the teacher to clarify his/her criteria in specific terms • clearly show the student how their work will be evaluated and what is expected • promote student awareness of about the criteria to use in assessing peer performance • provide useful feedback regarding the effectiveness of the instruction • provide benchmarks against which to measure and document progress So what does a Rubric look like?

  7. Designing Rubrics • A Rubric • Rubric Construction Set • The Rubric Bank
