This lesson serves as a starting point for teachers who are interested in implementing Student Engaged Assessment and seek to use rubrics as assessments for, and of, learning. By participating in a conversation about riding a bike and sequencing photos of cyclists according to skill, students create a “continuum of learning” that’s translatable to standard-based assessment and rubrics that they may encounter in the future. In order for formative assessment to be effective, students must feel respected, valued, efficacious, and engaged in their classroom. This lesson provides students the opportunity to participate in the development of the assessment language that they and their instructors will use to evaluate their performance. Students collaboratively create a continuum of skill-level descriptors that provide the framework for a mastery rubric. This lesson promotes an environment in which students participate fully in the assessment process, while developing the interpersonal and intrapersonal skills that they’ll need for success in school and life.

In this lesson, designed for a heterogeneous group of students that includes English-language learners, students work together to plan a website based on their home knowledge. An introductory lesson outlines the structure and components of simple websites (home page, titles, headings, links). Students take home and complete a bilingual student and family interest survey, then work in groups of four or five to identify common themes among the responses. Each group makes a flow chart to think graphically about the contents of their planned website. Each student keeps a project notebook to record new ideas, summarize group work, and share the project with family members. The teacher can make the planned websites a reality using one of the online website-building platforms in the Resources list.
