Adequate Preparation

Perspectives

   1. Student
   2. Colleague
   3. Expert
   4. Self

Discussion of four perspectives insufficient to document relevant information; one or more perspectives missing

Acceptable + integrates and synthesizes the relevant information

Appropriate Methods

Methods & Assessment

1. Student Learning Outcome (SLO)
2. Performance Indicators
3. Teaching Strategies of SLO
4. Assessment Strategies of SLO
5. Action Research Methodology Design
 

1.  SLO not results-oriented, not clearly written nor measurable.

2. Indicators do not identify the discrete traits of mastery.

3. Strategies not appropriate for achieving the FL.

4.  Assessment(s) do not adequately measure the identified indicators



5.  The AR methodology design does not provide feedback that  informs your practice

1.  SLO results-oriented, clearly written & measurable

2. Indicators identify the discrete traits of mastery

3. Teaching strategies appropriate for achieving the FLO

4.  Assessment(s) measure the identified indicators; some formative & summative assessment tools evident.


5.  The AR methodology design provides feedback that  informs your practice

1.  SLO results-oriented, clearly written, measurable, and critical to teaching & learning
2. Indicators clearly identify the discrete traits of mastery and sequenced for optimum learning.
3. Teaching strategies appropriate for achieving the FLO; follows the rigors of the discipline
4.  Assessment(s) measure the identified indicators; comprehensive set of formative and summative assessment tools evident

5.  The AR methodology design provides feedback that  informs your practice; feedback informs you in areas you were seeking to improve

a.  Reflection relates students' and candidate's learning to the research project and includes plan for improvement
b. Competent critical reflection of methods and results used to demonstrate each specified Essential Competency in this FLO; sufficient discussion of possible improvements

a.  Acceptable + insightful analysis with clear plans for revison


b. Acceptable + insightful discussion of possible improvements
