• Facilitating discussion:
– Person with the shortest hair
• Recording on poster paper:
– Person with the most buttons on his/her
shirt
• Reporting out to group:
– Person with the closest birthday (to today!)
STEP ONE:
 Examine your group’s assigned standard(s) and
appraisal rubric
 Identify and discuss the shifts in the levels of
performance and underline those words/phrases
that differentiate the levels
STEP TWO:
List evidence would reflect a teacher assessment at the
Proficient level for your group’s assigned standard(s).
Examples of tangible or concrete
documentation

_____
Examples of what you would SEE or
HEAR during an observation
• _____

STEP THREE:
Compare your group’s generated list of
evidence to the list of Performance
Indicators:
 Which ones are the same?
 What did your group think of that is not included on the list of
indicators?
 What would you add to your list?
STEP FOUR:
Working collaboratively to create a ONEPAGER around your group’s standard:
 name the standard
 list evidence of Proficient level that includes both
observational data and concrete documentation
 include a visual image, symbol, or representation of the
central idea of the standard
• 20 minutes to work in groups
• 10 minutes to report out
– 1 minute per standard
STEP ONE:
Examine your standard and rubric. Underline the words
that differentiate the levels on the rubric. Discuss!
STEP TWO:
List evidence of a teacher assessment at the Proficient
level. What would you see/hear? What documentation?
STEP THREE:
Compare your group’s list of evidence to the list of
Performance Indicators. What’s the same? What’s
different?
STEP FOUR:
Work collaboratively to create a 1 page organizer
around your group’s standard(s).
