Tim Ornes Education Portfolio

I consistently and effectively convey high expectations for students.

Reflection:

One way in which I do this is through clear expectations in the form of rubrics.  A rubric not only serves as a guideline for assessment, but a useful tool in communication of the standards expected for a particular product.  The student has access to exactly what is necessary to produce an excellent final product.

Evidence:

Here is a rubric for a middle school Energy Resources Research Paper. (last page)
