  • Self evaluation and team grade.

      I think this approach is what I will be using going forward.  A well designed participation rubric will be essential.

      My experience has been similar- and it is why I hated group work.  I always ended up doing all the work so I got a decent grade and the others were just dragged along for the ride.  I try very hard to avoid this in my teaching, but am working on implementing more of it using the best practices I learn here!

      The purpose for assessment is so important.  It is why I preach and practice backwards design, so I know where I'm headed when I am teaching.  I think back to my larger college classes where I could snooze through lectures, download the powerpoints, and ace the multiple choice exams...would some form of peer assessment/group accountability been more effective?

  • well written rubric not only helps the facilitator score the assignment but it and can greatly increase the quality and effort put into assignments by giving students a clear expectations with knowledge that must be demonstrated

      Another point in favor of well-designed rubrics.  Students can self-monitor and assess each other's work when they have clear expectations!
  • I do not recommend including an option on the peer evaluation for team members to make comments about their peers. Should team members have negative comments to make about peers, this tool is not a constructive venue.

      I often help my ex-wife with her group projects (she's a full time adjunct).  She uses this method and provides spaces for people to make comments.  My experience is that the only time people make comments is when they have something negative to say.  This often turns into "flaming" versus constructive criticism.

      This is so important!  We can't move our practice forward without shifting to rubric-based scoring for our authentic tasks.
  • explicit performance criteria, along with supporting models of work, make it possible for students to use the attributes of exemplary work to monitor their own performance.”

      This is one of the hardest things for me, getting the language of the rubric to be concise and explicit.  I know what I want out of the criteria, I just struggle with putting it into a manageableamount of words.

  • a typical example, that they will get an A for writing a 1000 word essay that “cites x number of sources and supports its thesis with at least three arguments” will lead students to perceive writing as a kind of “paint-by-number” endeavor
  • we need a meta-rubric to assess our rubric.

      I recently heard a speaker talk about how formative assessment is something we have a long way to go to improve.  I think that it is really important to remember the process over the product when doing FA.
  • formative assessment process involve both teachers and students

      A lot of times I feel like we forget this step--students have to know what success means (and what it looks like!)
  • students as they monitor and take responsibility for their own learning

      Isn't this the thing we want most?  I know it is for me.

  • The assessor must begin with a clear picture of why he or she is conducting the assessment

      A question we forget to ask all too often.  Why am I testing? To put a grade in the grade book?  To see if they "know" it?  What happens if they don't? (besides just moving on)...

      This is such an important foundational piece. When we haven't done backwards design we often have misalignment between the assessment and what we are assessing
