Virtual Math Institute Level 2, 6-8

In this level two virtual Institute 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 the next steps for student instruction. Participants will learn various techniques to facilitate students as they self-assess their own performance. 

The Broad Agenda
  • Embedding the NCTM Process Standards into my classroom using performance-based learning.
  • Using non-academic rubrics to model standards-based learning.
  • Introducing the Exemplars assessment rubric.
  • Scoring student work using the Exemplars rubric to guide instructional practices.
  • Incorporating the Exemplars Preliminary Planning Sheets to plan for differentiated instruction. 
  • Discussing the Concrete - Representational - Abstract (CRA) progression using student work for formative assessment.
  • Modeling student self-assessment as an instructional strategy to create rigor and engagement.
  • Combining the school's curriculum with Exemplars performance tasks
