Slide5A Classroom Scenario
AAC Professional Learning
Students in a grade five class were involved in a summative science performance assessment. As part of the task, they were to develop a plan, apply the procedures, and then evaluate their plan and procedures. A rubric was provided when the task was assigned. The teacher had numerous discussions with the students about what was required based on the task requirements and the rubric. The students were thoroughly engaged in the task and then submitted the required written work.
