  • In peer-assessment, students analyze each others’ work using guidelines or rubrics and provide descriptive feedback that supports continued improvement.

      I've been trying this with lab groups in order to promote discussion both about experimental techniques as well as data analysis. After the initial work, I split groups up and have each partner discuss results with a member of another group.
  • This feeling is dependent on a classroom culture characterized by a sense of trust between and among students and their teachers; by norms of respect, transparency, and appreciation of differences; and by a non-threatening environment

      All of these aspects are highlighed in the Characteristics of Effective Instruction in the Iowa Core.

      If the rubric is to be used by multiple teachers/scorers, reliability can be further increased by having "exemplars" of work at various levels and having some combined scoring practice to "calibrate" the scoring...similar to our group task for this week. We use this for scoring the ICAM tests.
  • static elements encouraging students to simply make sure their essays have those features

      I think there is still a place for a few of these in a rubric - they identify key pieces that are expected in a final project. Unless you're going to have students continually revise until they are at the top level in every category, this kind of thing may be needed from time to time.
  • if you feel that one dimension is more important than another.
    • Jason Martin-Hiner
       
      I always used this to emphasize the main point of the project, but still give some weight to other important pieces, such as organization and mechanics.

  • Sound Assessment Design

      This entire realm is both challenging and time-consuming. In order to have a high level of confidence, assessments usually need to be used many times and checked for validity and reliability…especially if they are being used as a summative assessment.This entire realm is both challenging and time-consuming.
  • Assess learning targets requiring the "doing" of science with a multiple-choice test.
    • Jason Martin-Hiner
       
      As obvious as this statement is, and even though "doing science" has been an expectation in the Iowa Core (and now the NGSS), there is a general lack of 'performance assessments' in science - especially at the elementary level.
