Rubric Level ... Applying
The curriculum was well organized to build on previous knowledge and to
reinforce many math concepts. Desirae effectively used the available technology
(smart board, video, and computer) to better aid the students in comprehending
the material taught. Students used whiteboards at their desks to work problems
and allow the teacher to check for understanding. A variety of effective methods,
strategies and resources were also incorporated to help students better
understand the concepts taught.

Assessments were teacher observed and ongoing. Student work was checked as
they worked on guided practice and classroom discussion. Students worked in
pairs and used peer assessment as they explained to their partner how they
worked a problem. An independent worksheet was assigned that will be checked
by the teacher. Information gathered will be used to check for understanding and
help prepare for the next day's lesson.
