Rubrics

4 levels of performance for each
component
 4-
Distinguished
 3- Proficient
 2- Basic
 1- Unsatisfactory

Each level refers to the degree of
expertise the teacher demonstrates in the
component.
Characteristics of a 4

Highly successful implementation

Evidence that the classroom operates as a community of learners


Highly motivated & engaged students – assume responsibility for their
own learning & for the functioning of the classroom.
Classroom appears to be running itself
Activity- 3b: Using Questioning/ Prompts and Discussion Techniques
Teacher uses a variety or series of questions or prompts to challenge
students cognitively, advance high-level thinking and discourse, and
promote meta-cognition. Students themselves frame higher-level
questions.
Characteristics of a 3

Successful implementation of the different elements of
the instructional element

Lacks the students’ assumption of classroom
responsibilities and contributions to functioning
Activity- 3b: Using Questioning/ Prompts and Discussion
Techniques
While the teacher may use some low-level questions to
scaffold instruction, he or she poses questions to
students that are designed to promote student thinking
and understanding.
Characteristics of a 2


Understanding of the concepts underlying the
component
Evidence of attempts to implement its elements, but the
implementation is sporadic, intermittent, or otherwise
not entirely successful
Activity- 3b: Using Questioning/ Prompts and Discussion
Techniques
Teacher's questions lead students through a single path of
inquiry, with answers seemingly determined in advance.
Characteristics of a 1

Does not demonstrate understanding of
the rudimentary skills inherent in the
component
Activity- 3b: Using Questioning/ Prompts and
Discussion Techniques
Teacher's questions are of low cognitive
challenge, have single correct responses,
and are asked in rapid succession.
