The Rubric in (semi)-detail
• I strongly suggest you explore the rubric and come to
the meeting armed with questions.
• http://serc.carleton.edu/integrate/info_team_members/currdev/rubric.html
• Rubric has six (6) elements and each area has sub-elements
1. Guiding principles of InTeGrate teaching materials
2. Learning objectives and goals
3. Assessment and measurement
4. Resources and materials
5. Instructional strategies
6. Alignment
Let’s explore #2. Learning objectives and goals
• Learning objectives describe measureable geoscience literacy goals
• Instructions and/or rubrics provide guidance for how students meet
learning goals
• Learning objectives and goals are appropriate for the intended use of
the course/module
• Learning objectives and goals are clearly stated for each module in
language suitable for the level of the students
• Learning objectives and goals address the process and nature of
science and development of scientific habits of mind
• Scoring against the rubric
• Each sub-element will be scored independently and each major sub-area
will be totaled.
• The guiding principles section requires that you meet every one of those to
pass. In other words, you need a 100% score for the guiding principles.
• The remaining areas require an 85% to pass that section.
• Each sub-element is scored on a 3 point scale
• 3 = good
• 2 = needs some help
• 1 = indicates the component is either inferred or probably not covered well enough
to be clear or at all.
