Exemplars performance material provides teachers and administrators a way of teaching and assessing writing and communication skills.
Our material is classroom tested and may be used for assessment, instruction, and professional development. Standards-based rubrics and student anchor papers are integral components.
Alignments are available for state and national standards.
This has been a great resource with the introduction of Common Core Math and ELA.

Yes, using Exemplars was absolutely amazing. I used Exemplars in so many ways. I used them to start a unit to help them explore before announcing what the true learning target was, I have also used them in the middle of a unit to listen to their dialogue and take math anecdotal notes (this directed my lessons), and of course, I have used them as a culminating event to observe if they can apply the concept that they have learned. The final way that I used them, was in my learning stations to support their learning. However, many times they would not want to stop to move to another group. This is when I decided that everyone would do Exemplars on a particular day in a small leveled group.

I’ve yet to find any other resource that compares to Exemplars.
