Use the Framework for Evaluation of Student Learning. Go to site
New Orientations in Evaluation and Reporting, 2011 (PPT) Download
Checklists contain evaluation criteria that describe the expectations for a task or a collection of artifacts. The expectations are those of the program and guided by the teacher’s knowledge of the development of the two competencies as well as the evaluation criteria from the Evaluation Frameworks document.
The teacher uses questioning to guide students in identifying criteria. Criteria are stated in simple language so that students and teachers are clear.
The criteria in the checklists below are for example purposes only. Please download the files, and change the criteria to those established with your students.
The document Building criteria | Brainstorm Criteria as a class will help you do this. Download
