Create Scale (Rubric)
• Create Scale First
• Level 3 = Meeting Expectations
• Begin here wanting every student to be here
IED Example4 Point Scale – Level 3
• IED Learning Goal 1: “Students will be able to construct a 2-Dimensional sketch using basic sketching commands and constraints.”
• Commands we teach line, rectangle, circle, arc, fillet, chamfer, trim, extend, & multiple 2D constraints (dimension, parallel, perpendicular, tangent, fix, vertical, horizontal)
IED Example 4 Point Scale – Level 4
• Level 4 – Inferences that go beyond what was taught
• Demonstrated, but not expected to proficient
• Creative, above the expectation, just exposed to
IED Example4 Point Scale – Level 2
• Level 2 – No major errors in simple details, but major errors in complex ideas
• Student still needs more practice
• Level 1 – With help, partial understanding
• Student still needs teacher help & student practice
