Rubric in Action

Evaluate

• Partner with a participant.• Describe an activity that you

implement as a LMC in your school. • Have your partner identify the

standard(s) category for that activity and performance rating.

• Together, brainstorm ways you can improve the activity.

• Then do the same for your partner. • Repeat as time permits.
