Expectations of the Exemplars Rubric - What’s the Difference Between an Answer and a Solution?

Learning Goal: In this Zoom session, participants will learn to use the five criteria and the four performance levels of the Exemplars rubric to analyze and assess student work. Examples of authentic student work will serve as the foundation for rich discussions concerning expectations for student performance and guide educators in determining next steps for student instruction. Participants will learn various techniques to facilitate students as they self-assess their own performance.

Testimonials

I valued the way [the instructor] delivered information in an interesting and joyful way. I've been to other math training where it is easy to tune out ... I would love to learn from her again! 

Alisa Okamoto, Intervention Teacher

The collaboration with colleagues was most important. I liked that Jay tied our holistic rubrics from the state department of education to the Exemplars Problem-Solving Procedure.
