September+30+meeting

September 30, 2010 ... The intent of the rubric is to:
 * 1) provide flexibility to districts in assessing students yet requiring the same tool to be used to gauge a number so that they are all reporting the same thing;
 * 2) provide help to school districts for evaluating ed tech while at the same time supporting our goal for infusion of ed tech throughout the curriculum;
 * 3) a cost-effective and minimally burdensome solution; and
 * 4) to satisfy the federal requirement that all students in grade 8 are technologically literate.

Our group talked about the format for the next rubric, and we have come to terms with the fact that this next round in addition to what we have (and were in development), we will need several more tools to support teachers.
 * 1)  A rubric that shows the levels of proficiency for EACH CPI FOR EACH GRADE LEVEL since each CPI measures a particular skill. This will take a long time to develop but will be clear for teachers to see what is necessary to achieve a particular CPI skill.
 * 2)  A document that combines related CPIs, and an example to show a project that addresses those related CPIs. It will be examples of HOW multiple CPIs may be implemented in class. We haven’t quite figured out how this will look (maybe checklists), but it is probably this document that will have the scores that will be required to be scored. There may be a need to review each item to be score as a weighted score (determining if one item is more important than another). Terminology may change - this document may be a "guidance document that suggests ways to implement CPIs". Doing this - each grade level P, 2, 4, 8 and 12 will have a definition for advanced proficient, proficient and partially proficient, i.e., if a student meets all CPIs then he or she is proficient in that grade level. Each grade level will have proficiency expectations.
 * 3)  A revised CAD document that shows the CAD and all the CPIs that is related to that one activity. Technology CADs are located at: []

Spence Zaorski offered his full cooperation to us in the development of the online tool that will assist us in the development of these documents.

//EXAMPLES OF THESE THREE DOCUMENTS WILL BE HELPFUL. I'LL LOOK TO CREATE SOMETHING RELATIVELY SOON FOR ALL TO REVIEW AND MAKE A DETERMINATION. //
