Exemplars summative assessment tasks include anchor papers and scoring rationales at each of the four performance levels of our Standards-Based Math Rubric: Novice, Apprentice, Practitioner (meets the standard), and Expert. 

Scoring rationales describe why each piece of student work is assessed at a specific performance level for each of the Exemplars rubric criterion.

Together, these tools demonstrate for teachers and students what work meets or does not meet the standard and explains why. They are also a valuable staff development resource and may be used with students as a basis for self- and peer-assessment.
