 * Standard 8 **

Evidence 1: Rubrics are an excellent means to evaluate student work as well as provide feedback.

Rationale 1: With the Project Based Learning I will be implementing with my Honors American Literatue course the students will have very specific rubrics for each step of the process. The Rubrics in the project include:


 * Peer Evaluation Rubric (used for voting on group proposal, so students will evaluate each member of their groups proposal)
 * Reflection Journal on My Big Campus
 * Individual Rubric for proposal and research, with proper citation and MLA format
 * Final group product rubric

KSD


 * 8.K.2 The teacher knows how to select, construct, and use assessment strategies and instruments appropriate to the learning outcomes being evaluated and to other diagnostic purposes.**

The rubrics serve to assess students for each step involved in the project based learning. The appropriate learning outcomes to be evaluated are specific in nature and the outcome is clear in the rubrics.


 * 8.S.1 The teacher appropriately uses a variety of formaland informal assessment techniques (e,g, observation,portfolios of student work, teacher-made tests, performance tasks, projects, students self-assessments,peer assessment, and standardized tests) to enhance her or his knowledge of learners, evaluate students’ progress and performances, and modify teaching and learning strategies.**

The project includes self reflection, peer evaluation, independent research and proposal, as well as an overall collaborative project to write and create a public service announcement.


 * 8.D.1 The teacher values ongoing assessment as essential to the instructional process and recognizes that many different assessment strategies, accurately and systematically used, are necessary for monitoring and promoting student learning.**

The ongoing assessment includes: 1)evaluation of student work after their independent proposal and research 2) collaboration as a group to create a proposal and PSA based on pooling together group members ideas 3) and finally an evaluation on the response journal to assess and reflect the overall success of the project.
