Rubric for Lesson Plans Oral Presentations will be based on assessing the following:

• Presenter gives an overview of the main highlights listed in the 11-point "Rubric for Lesson plans Assignment"

• Imagine yourself presenting at an NCTM or MCTM conference about your experience in this ADEPT course. Imagine the audience includes mathematicians and math educators (who you want to convince you have improved content as well as pedagogical delivery, and increased your own strengths as an excellent teachers); math supervisors, principals and superintendents; parents; and state legislators (whom you want to convince that through your participation in programs such as ADEPT, you are reaching higher levels of excellence in math teaching). If you have done a good job at this imagined level, you will likely score well on the corresponding items on the rubric

Remember, this is not just a "show and tell" ; make sure you tell the audience about the "before" and "after"; what changes you made to your old lesson plans to get the new

Final Course Portfolio

Rubric for Final Course Portfolios will assess the following items:

1. Portfolio is well-organized (including TOC); all items below are labeled and/or easy to find

2. Your short Narrative Introduction (1-2 pages) sets the stage for the organized portfolio which follows.

3. Two items, corresponding to items D and E on Lesson Plans Rubric -- these two are very important, and the content part is particularly important.

4. The Course Portfolio Indicates the Standards (MSPAP, HSA, NCTM, County, etc) you are meeting, and not just that, but how and why you are meeting, well, the goals behind them.

5. The Course Portfolio Indicates how you will assess yourself in the future (after the course is over), and how you will assess your students' performance, in meeting the goals not just of MSPAP, etc, but of your own goals as you have expanded, refined, and enhanced them through the problem-solving, math content discussions, pedagogy discussions, readings, algebra concept map, hands on explorations, etc, of this ADEPT course.

6. Short Concluding Narrative in your Course Portfolio which addresses: In what ways have you further developed yourself, during this ADEPT course, as a confident and capable math teacher who delivers excellence in her or his classroom?

Note: obviously not every part needs to be typed; e.g. previously handed items. Anything you feel is good enough to include in the Math ADEPT curricular binder (including your observations and summaries on cover sheets) however, might be a good idea to include both the cover sheet as marked by instructor, and freshly printed out copy
