**Standard 2** ** Teachers know how children grow. ** The teacher understands how children with broad ranges of ability learn and provides instruction that supports their intellectual, social, and personal development.

Evidence 1:

Rationale 1: This tool is used for students to engage themselves in their classmates’ projects. In this evaluation students will evaluate fellow students by explaining what they like about each other’s work as well as some ideas for improvement. This evaluation was developed for Computer Multimedia class. The class is open to 9-12 graders. I use an evaluation similar to this one every time we give presentations to the class. I use this so that students stay connected to each other’s work it helps me monitor them during presentations. Students learn more because they are evaluated by more than just me, which will help them succeed more with future projects.

KSD: 2.K.1 The teacher understands how learning occurs -- how students construct knowledge, acquire skills, and develop habits of mind – and how to use instructional strategies that promote student learning for a wide range of student abilities. This evidence shows that I use multiple strategies to evaluate students. I believe peer evaluating is an important part of learning. They also learn more because they have to think about how they are evaluating others.

2.S.1 The teacher assesses individual and group performance in order to design instruction that meets learners’ current needs in each domain (cognitive, social, emotional, moral, and physical) and that leads to the next level of development. I am assessing students based on their work as well as how they assess each other. Assessment gives students feedback on their work, which results in learning about how to improve and keeps them motivated.

2.D.2 The teacher is disposed to use students’ strengths as a basis for growth, and their errors as an opportunity for learning. This rubric points out exactly what the student is excelling in as well as what they need to work on.
