-
Portfolio is well-organized (including TOC);
all items below are labeled and/or easy to find
- Your introduction (brief is fine) gives
context (which grade? which course? nature of course?
which overall curriculum? which old Lessons were chosen? why? what are
your goals in changing them?) for what follows
-
Overall Portfolio is professional in all respects
(neat, grammar/diction, mathematical expressions, graphics, etc)
-
Portfolio clearly shows what new mathematical content
(ideas, concepts, etc) from Math 541 were used in the modified plans,
and how they were used
- Portfolio clearly shows new pedagogical methods (if any)
and/or new ways of looking at algebra (if any; e.g. from Concept Map)
from Math 541, and how they were used
-
Differences between the Old and New Lesson plans are clear
(not vague) and thoughtfully chosen to be mathematically and
educationally positive enhancements to the school curriculum
-
Mathematical Content in the New Lesson Plans is communicated
carefully, correctly, and also
precisely (not vaguely); including your goals/objectives
for student learning outcomes
-
New Lesson Plans are easy to read/follow, explicit, and well-designed
-
New Lesson Plans include an assessment portion
to measure the effects on your students' abilities, knowledge, skills
and conceptual understanding; your description
(brief is fine) should communicate what it was, its design, links to
your goals, etc.

Listing of
MSPAP (http://www.mdk12.org/mspp/mspap/index.html)
and/or HSA
(http://www.mdk12.org/mspp/high_school/what_is/index.html)
and/or other DE/ME/VA standards relevant to your Lesson Plans
Optionally, also national, e.g. NCTM standards; any
local, county, or school goals and/or standards
(I won't grade you by how long/extensive the list is, so no need
to go overboard (though "extensive" is fine too), just
show that you've given these your thoughtful reflection)
Suggestion: in underlined-color in parentheses, list next to
each item in your lesson plans list the Standards, then
an indexed listing at the end, with page numbers in parentheses
-
Reflective Narrative that is thoughtful and articulate;
constructive narrative by observer (recommended but optional)
relevant to above issues
For each component, I will look at whether it is
Not present (0), present but not adequately (1),
present adequately (2), done well (3), done very well (4),
or outstanding (5).
It is not my expectation that there will be grades below a "B" in
this class, but for the sake of definiteness, overall the course and
this assignment will be graded, as:
Does not comply with the assignment (F); Poorly/inadequately meets
the components (D); Adequately meets most of the components (C); Meets
some of the components adequately, meets some well (C+); Meets most of
the components well in a quality, thorough manner (B); Meets
most of the components in a very good/excellent fashion, and
rates at least "good" on all components (B+); and, Meets multiple/many
components in an outstanding manner; all in "very good"; is
exemplary (A). "Very good" or higher ratings means worthy of placement in
ADEPT's Curricular Binder for future semesters.
(You'll notice the mention of grades and expectations
there; as noted early in the semester, I would speak with you if any
of you was in danger of getting anything other than an A or B. See me
if you have any questions or concerns. Over time we will continue to
either discuss as a class or meet one-on-one and about expectations as
well as to share ideas)
