This weeks we took a deep look into formative assessments, summative assessments, lesson plans, and unit plans. The teachers analyzed the way they planned lessons and learned new ways to do so. Ultimately, they were asked to make a unit plan based on something they would teach in their classrooms in Brazil. Not only did they write clear objectives and assessments, but also they used the practices and methods learned throughout their time at Notre Dame to create interactive lessons that would enhance student learning. What we really wanted was to give the Brazilian teachers practical things they could implement immediately in their classrooms, and this activity was a great way for them to pick and choose what precisely would work best for each of them.
Here is a link to the ACE Unit Template we used in class:
Below you will find links to rubric resources that will help you assess student work based on the objectives and goals you have created for a lesson:
- One great way to grade non-traditional assessments is a rubric. Things like role-play, dialogues, presentations or other non-test assessments. Rubrics are a wonderful tool, but are sometimes difficult to make.
- This website, Rubistar.4teachers.org provides a great start to rubrics on almost any topic. Once you choose the type of rubric you want to make, you can edit the categories and the requirements found in each box to fit your topic.
- Here are some more sample rubrics for you that we used in our classrooms! Enjoy!
