Create Scale (Rubric)

• Create Scale First

• Level 3 = Meeting Expectations

• Begin here wanting every student to be here

IED Example4 Point Scale – Level 3

• IED Learning Goal 1: “Students will be able to construct a 2-Dimensional sketch using basic sketching commands and constraints.”

• Commands we teach line, rectangle, circle, arc, fillet, chamfer, trim, extend, & multiple 2D constraints (dimension, parallel, perpendicular, tangent, fix, vertical, horizontal)

IED Example 4 Point Scale – Level 4

• Level 4 – Inferences that go beyond what was taught

• Demonstrated, but not expected to proficient

• Creative, above the expectation, just exposed to

IED Example4 Point Scale – Level 2

• Level 2 – No major errors in simple details, but major errors in complex ideas

• Student still needs more practice

• Level 1 – With help, partial understanding

• Student still needs teacher help & student practice

IED Example4 Point Scale – Level 1
