Target Grade/ Subject Identify the target grade and describe the target population and the relevance of the lesson for this population. (10 pts) |
The unique attributes of your target population are very clear and the appropriateness of the lesson (for this group) is obvious. (10 pts) |
Description of target population is general and the appropriateness of the lesson (for this group) is clear. (5 pts) |
Description of target population is vague and/or, the appropriateness of the lesson (for this group) is not convincing. (1 pt) |
|
Objective(s) Describe the behavior that the students will perform, the conditions under which it will be performed, and the criteria for assessing mastery. (20 pts)
|
Behavior, criteria, and conditions are clearly and concisely written (no unnecessary word). (20 pts) |
Behavior, criteria, and conditions are a bit ambiguous and/or too "wordy." (10 pts) |
Behavior, criteria, and/or conditions are unclear or poorly written. (2 pts) |
|
Materials Include all materials (and explanations if necessary) that are needed for lesson. (10pts)
|
Materials provided and explained. (10 pts) |
All materials are included but are unclear or use of materials is unclear. (5 pts) |
All materials are not included or are sloppily organized. (1 pts) |
|
Lesson Description Describe how the lesson will work. Describe the lesson so that another teacher could understand it and implement it without your presence. (20 pts)
|
Description is sufficiently clear to enable a third party to try the lesson out. Description is clear yet economical. (20 pts) |
Description is fairly clear but is wordy and repetitive. (10 pts) |
Description is unclear and difficult to follow. (2 pt) |
|
Evaluation Procedure Describe the assessment measure for determining whether the lesson's objective(s) were met. (10pts) |
The behavior assessed exactly matches the behavior described in the objective and description of the lesson. (10pts) |
The behavior assessed closely resembles the behavior described in the objective and description of the lesson. (5 pts) |
The behavior assessed is inconsistent with the behavior described in the objective and description of the lesson. (1 pt) |
|
Guiding question 1 Does technology SUPPORT instructional activity? Technology should not BE the lesson. Do not teach students how to use a word processor for example. Use technology as a tool. Guiding question 2 Is the use of technology transparent? Students should learn how to use the application without being aware of it. It is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. (10 pts)
|
The technology supports the instructional objective in a meaningful way. It enhances it and possibly facilitates additional beneficial outcomes not directly measured. (10 pts) |
The technology does support the lesson but may "get in the way" somewhat, e.g., when students need to "learn" to use the software as a separate endeavor. (5 pts) |
Technology tends to be the focus of the lesson. Technology intrudes into the lesson or becomes the activity itself, e.g., teaching students how to use a spreadsheet. (1 pt) |
|
Guiding question 3 Is the lesson/activity intrinsically motivating? If students hate to write, they will hate to write as much using a computer as they do without it. The activity must be engage and motivate. Ask yourself the question "Why will the students care?" (10 pts)
|
Activity is interesting and engaging for the target population. It is fun, even goofy enough to motivate students to do whatever it takes to accomplish it and would want to do it again. (10 pts) |
Activity is reasonably different from students' normal classroom activities. Students are motivated to try the activity. (5 pts) |
The activity is dry and boring. Technology cannot make a bad activity good or a boring activity exciting. The activity itself must be imaginative, thoughtful, and creative. (1 pt) |
|
Guiding question 4 Can the lesson be taught without technology? The answer to this question will often be "yes." But the lesson should be at least as easy and worthwhile with it as it is without it. (10 pts) |
Technology definitely improves the lesson in some fashion. (10 pts) |
Technology is appropriate but the lesson could have been carried out without it. (5 pts) |
Poor or contrived use of technology -- the activity would be easier and more effective without it. (1 pt) |
If your paper is not written well and typo-free, it will negatively impact each of the above categories.
