Educators Evaluating Quality Instructional Products (EQuIP) Using the Tri-State Quality Rubric
Development of the Tri-State Rubric • Work began by Tri-State Collaborative • Comprised of educational leaders from Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island • Developed criterion-based rubrics and review process • Assisted by Achieve • Launched by PARCC in June 2012
Arkansas EQuIPTeam ELA/Literacy Mathematics Janice Riggs El Dorado Felix Maull Conway Teresa Martin Hamburg • Nancy Papacek Bryant • Andrea McKenna Springdale • Vernita Lee Dumas
Why EQuIPand the Tri-State Rubric • Determine quality of existing instructional materials or those under development • Place quality model lessons/units into the hands of the teachers • Build capacity of educators at the classroom, building, district, and state levels to determine quality and alignment
An Aligned System Common Core State Standards Model Content Frameworks Model Lessons/Units PARCC Assessment
State Initiatives • Mathematics Design Collaborative (MDC) • Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) • Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) • Understanding By Design (UBD)
Tri-State Rubric Purposes • Provides clear, descriptive criteria for CCSS lessons/units • Provides meaningful, constructive feedback to developers of lessons/units, based on common criteria • Identifies lessons/units that can serve as models • Guides collegial review and jurying processes
Tri-State Rubric Evaluates • Lessons that include instructional activities and assessments aligned to the CCSS that may extend over a few class periods or days • Units that include integrated and focused lessons aligned to the CCSS that extend over a longer period of time • NOT designed to evaluate a single task
Evaluating vs. Writing • The Tri-State Rubric can be used to evaluate lessons/units that have already been developed. • New lessons/units could be developed with the rubric in mind.
Organization of Rubric Criteria • Dimension I • Alignment to the Rigor of the CCSS • Dimension II • Key Areas of Focus in the CCSS • Dimension III • Instructional Supports • Dimension IV • Assessments
Tri-State Rubric Formats • One-Page Format • Contains dimensions, criteria, and ratings • Two-Page Format • Used during review process and includes columns for observations, comments, and suggestions • New Long Format • Intended to be completed electronically
The Rubric Organizes Criteria That Describe Quality Lessons/Units Criteria that define the rubric are organized to describe quality in four dimensions. **The most critical criteria are considered to be “must have’s” for a quality CCSS lesson/unit.
Two-Page Format Is Used to Check Criteria, Rate, and Provide Feedback: Page 1 - Dimensions I, II, and Rating Descriptors
Two-Page Format Is Used to Check Criteria, Rate, and Provide Feedback: Page 2 - Dimensions III, IV, and Summary Comments
Tri-State Rubric Criteria • Descriptive criteria in each Dimension • Represent a high standard of quality • Describe characteristics found in an exemplary CCSS lesson/unit • Critical criteria designated with double asterisk (**) • Located In Dimensions I & II • Must be checked to be exemplary
Tri-State Rubric Checked Criteria • A criterion is checked when lesson/unit contains clear, substantial evidence of the criterion’s descriptor. • Many “in progress” lessons/units, while representing good instruction, may not be deemed to currently meet the standard. • Pattern of checks in a column represent both strengths and areas for improvement
Tri-State Rubric Initial Review Process • Initial review should focus on • Identifying criteria that are met • Providing feedback on improvements needed • Initial review should not focus on • Assigning ratings
Tri-State Rubric Review Process Step 1: Record grade and title Step 2: Scan lesson/unit for content and organization and skim key materials, particularly those related to the Dimensions Step 3: Compare targeted grade-level standards for alignment to the CCSS
Tri-State Rubric Review Process • Step 4: • In ELA, study and measure the text(s) that serves as the centerpiece for the lesson/unit, analyzing text complexity, quality, scope, and relationship to instruction. • In mathematics, work the student tasks provided, keeping in mind all possible strategies students might use.
Tri-State Rubric Review Process Step 5: Analyze lesson/unit for evidence of Dimension I Alignment to the Rigor of the CCSS Step 6: Check criteria in Column 1 for which there is clear and substantial evidence of meeting the descriptors and provide input on specific improvements for unchecked criterion
Tri-State Rubric Review Process Step 7: Reference criteria when making observations and recommendations in the column next to the Dimension Repeat Steps 5-7 for each Dimension, examining evidence presented in the lesson/unit through the “lens” of each criterion.
Evaluating a Lesson or Unit • In each Dimension • Examine dimension through “lens” of the criteria • Check criteria that are met • Provide input on improvements needed to meet the criteria • Examine pattern of checks and use criteria to determine a 3-2-1 rating
Evaluating a Lesson or Unit Descriptors for the 3-2-1 rating scale 3: Meets all ”must have” criteria (**) in dimensions I, II and most of the criteria in III, IV. 2: Meets many of the “must have” criteria in dimensions I, II and many of the criteria in III, IV. 1: Meets some of the criteria in the dimension. 0: Does not meet the criteria in the dimension.
Evaluating a Lesson or Unit • Circle the rating at the bottom of the Dimension’s column • Make constructive comments/recommendations that explain the rating and indicate how to improve the lesson/unit for that Dimension.
Determining an Overall Rating • Review the patterns of check criteria and ratings for each of the for Dimensions. • Make a summary judgment about the overall quality of the lesson/unit, using the Overall Rating Scale. • Record the Overall Rating on the top right of the Tri-State Rubric.
Final Thoughts • The common descriptive criteria provide a common language for constructive comments, discussions, and evaluations. • The pattern of checked criteria real the perceived strengths and areas for improvement in each dimension. • The four dimensional ratings reveal the current status of the lesson/unit as a model of CCSS instruction within each dimension. • The overall rating indicates whether the lesson/unit has been deemed a CCSS model, or where it is in the process of becoming a model example.
