Artifact for Standard 4: Content Knowledge

Name of Artifact: Writing Rubric

Date: February 2015
Course: ED 422
Rationale:
I have included this writing rubric under Standard 4. This rubric
belongs under Standard 4 because I understand the central concepts;
tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline that I am teaching
and creating learning experiences that make the discipline accessible
and meaningful for learners to assure mastery of the content. I used
this writing rubric for my students to teach them how to score their
own writing after they have written their project, and then for me to
score them after. This will help teach my students what I am looking
for in their writing and help them to think critically when they write
about what needs to be included. As the students get more proficient
with their writing and scoring themselves I will change the rubric to
be a little more complicated and look for more precise items in their
writing structure.
