Rubric I: Degree of Alignment to Standards
-
description
This rubric is applied to learning objects that have suggested alignments to standards. It is used to rate the degree to which an individual object actually aligns to each proposed standard. The rubric was designed specifically for the Common Core State Standards, but can be used with any set of standards. Before the rubric can be applied, the assumption is that a user has proposed an alignment between the object and the selected standard(s).
There are two major aspects of standards that are vital to a meaningful alignment review: content and performance expectations. It is important that the content addressed in the object matches the content addressed in each proposed standard. Evaluating the alignment of the performances required in both the object and the standard is equally essential and should be considered along with the content.
Rubric I Scoring Guide
Score Definition / Criteria 3: An object has superior alignment only if both of the following are true: - All of the content and performance expectations in the identified standard are completely addressed by the object.
- The content and performance expectations of the identified standard are the focus of the object. While some objects may cover a range of standards that could potentially be aligned, for a superior alignment the content and performance expectations must not be a peripheral part of the object.
2: An object has strong alignment for either one of two reasons: - Minor elements of the standard are not addressed in the object.
- The content and performance expectations of the standard align to a minor part of the object.
1: An object has limited alignment if a significant part of the content or performance expectations of the identified standard is not addressed in the object, as long as there is fidelity to the part it does cover. For example, an object that aligns to CCSS 2.NBT.2, "Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s," but only addresses counting numbers to 500, would be considered to have limited alignment. The object aligns very closely with a limited part of the standard. 0: An object has very weak alignment for either one of two reasons: - The object does not match the intended standards
- The object matches only to minimally important aspects of a standard. These objects will not typically be useful for instruction of core concepts and performances covered by the standard.
N/A This rubric does not apply for an object that has no suggested standards for alignment. For example, the rubric might not be applicable to a set of raw data. -
