Evaluation of Lesson Plan

The following checklist was used to evaluate the lesson plan.

  YES NO
Content and Skills    
  • The assessment identifies the content the student is to have learned.

  • The assessment identifies the skills the student will show mastery in.

  • The assessment focuses on a "big" question -- significant, enduring, or relevant knowledge.

  • The assessment avoids focusing on trivial, idiosyncratic, or unimportant content.

   
Criteria    
  • The criteria for the demonstration of knowledge include everything of importance.

  • The criteria are clearly articulated.

  • Each criterion is supported with illustrative student work.

  • The criteria are stated generally, allowing for application throughout the curriculum.

  • Each criterion identifies a trait that can be analyzed.

   
Performance Tasks    
  • The performance task elicits the desired demonstration of knowledge.

  • The performance task is set in an authentic and appropriate context.

  • It is an example of good instruction.

  • Students, peers, experts, or other appropriate audiences review it.

  • The performance task allows the student to cover the content and/or skill adequately.

  • Results of the performance can be generalized.

  • The performance task does not introduce factors that would hinder students' ability to demonstrate knowledge.

   
Fairness    
  • The performance tasks have content and context familiar, acceptable, and appropriate for all students.

  • The performance tasks tap content and skills all students have had appropriate and equal opportunity to acquire.

  • The performance tasks are free of cultural, ethnic, or gender biases and stereotypes.

  • The performance tasks are free of language barriers.

  • The performance tasks account for disabilities and assistive/adaptive needs of students.

  • The performance tasks allow the student to cover the content and/or skill adequately.
