**Standard 8** ** Teachers know how to test for student progress. **  The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the pupil.

Evidence 1:

Rationale 1: This grading rubric was developed to assess students on their ability to create an appealing Photoshop Poster meeting criterion listed on the rubric. It was developed for my Graphic Communications course. This class is open to all grade levels in our high school. I teach this lesson each semester because I like the way that it focuses on what they have learned; I believe this to be the best tool for assessment. As a teacher evaluations are very important because assessment provides feedback on whether students are learning in my classroom. After this lesson I believe students are able to open and create visually pleasing Photoshop documents.

KSD 8.K.2 The teacher knows how to select, construct, and use assessment strategies and instruments appropriate to the learning outcomes being evaluated and to other diagnostic purposes. I created this rubric for Graphic Communications class to evaluate “what students have learned” in Photoshop. I believe this is the appropriate type of evaluative tool because of the list of included items. I believe this to be the best assessment tool for this assignment.  8.S.3, The teacher uses assessment strategies to involve learners in self-assessment activities, to help them become aware of their strengths and needs, and to help them to set personal goals for learning.  As part of this assessment rubric I ask for students to evaluate themselves. This allows them to see how they think they did, versus how I think they did. This will allow them to improve on not only their skills but also in evaluating themselves.  8.D.2 The teacher is committed to using assessment to identify student strengths and promote student growth rather than to deny students access to learning opportunities.  Listed on the rubric is a place for teacher notes, in this blank I provide the students with what I believe to be their strengths.
