# You will be graded on the following multi-part rubric, so aim to score high across all of these:

## I. Quality of Individual Learning Outcomes

### 1. Clarity
**How clearly does the learning outcome communicate what students are expected to know, understand, or do?**

- **Low:** The outcome is vague, ambiguous, or overly broad. It is difficult to determine what students are expected to learn or do.
- **Moderate:** The general learning intention is understandable, but some language is vague, undefined, or open to multiple interpretations.
- **High:** The outcome clearly identifies the intended student learning and uses precise language appropriate to the content and context.
- **Distinguished:** The outcome communicates the intended learning with exceptional precision, making the target readily understandable to educators and students without unnecessary wording or ambiguity.

### 2. Assessability
**How readily can achievement of the learning outcome be observed or assessed?**

- **Low:** The outcome relies primarily on unobservable language such as *understand, know,* or *appreciate*, with little indication of what successful performance would look like.
- **Moderate:** The outcome suggests observable learning, but the expected evidence of learning remains somewhat unclear.
- **High:** The outcome describes knowledge or performance that can be directly demonstrated and assessed.
- **Distinguished:** The outcome makes the expected evidence of learning especially clear, allowing educators to readily determine what student performance would demonstrate successful attainment.

### 3. Scope
**Is the amount of learning represented by the outcome appropriately bounded?**

- **Low:** The outcome is substantially too broad, too narrow, or combines several distinct learning goals that would be difficult to teach or assess as one outcome.
- **Moderate:** The outcome is generally manageable but may contain multiple components or be somewhat mismatched to the expected instructional time.
- **High:** The outcome represents a coherent and appropriately sized unit of learning for the instructional context.
- **Distinguished:** The outcome is precisely scoped, capturing a meaningful unit of learning while avoiding unnecessary fragmentation or the bundling of distinct goals.

### 4. Cognitive Demand
**Does the learning outcome call for an appropriate and meaningful level of thinking?**

- **Low:** The outcome requires primarily recall or recognition when deeper thinking is warranted, or its cognitive demand is unclear.
- **Moderate:** The outcome requires some meaningful processing but may emphasize relatively routine explanation, identification, or application.
- **High:** The outcome calls for an appropriate level of reasoning, application, analysis, or other disciplinary thinking given the learning goal.
- **Distinguished:** The outcome intentionally targets sophisticated disciplinary thinking and asks students to integrate, reason with, evaluate, transfer, or otherwise use knowledge in meaningful ways appropriate to the context.

# II. Quality of the Learning Outcomes as a Set

### 5. Coherence
**How well do the learning outcomes work together toward a unified learning goal?**

- **Low:** The outcomes appear largely disconnected or resemble a collection of loosely related topics and activities.
- **Moderate:** Most outcomes relate to the same general topic, but their relationship to one another or to a larger learning goal is not consistently clear.
- **High:** The outcomes form a coherent set in which each contributes meaningfully to a shared learning goal or conceptual understanding.
- **Distinguished:** The outcomes form a tightly integrated learning architecture in which the relationship among outcomes and their contribution to a larger understanding or capability is clear and intentional.

### 6. Progression
**How effectively do the outcomes build toward increasingly sophisticated learning?**

- **Low:** Outcomes are primarily parallel or disconnected, with little evidence that later learning builds on earlier learning.
- **Moderate:** Some progression is evident, but substantial portions of the sequence remain at a similar level of knowledge or cognitive demand.
- **High:** The outcomes generally build from foundational knowledge or skills toward more complex understanding, reasoning, or application.
- **Distinguished:** The sequence represents a purposeful learning progression in which students systematically develop, connect, and use increasingly sophisticated knowledge and capabilities.

### 7. Coverage
**How completely do the outcomes represent the important learning within the intended domain or topic?**

- **Low:** Major concepts, skills, relationships, or applications central to the intended learning are absent.
- **Moderate:** The outcomes address the major topic areas but leave meaningful gaps in important concepts, relationships, or applications.
- **High:** The outcomes provide strong coverage of the important knowledge, concepts, and capabilities needed for the intended learning.
- **Distinguished:** The outcomes provide comprehensive yet focused coverage, capturing not only essential knowledge but also important relationships, reasoning, and applications without unnecessary expansion.

### 8. Distinctiveness
**Does each learning outcome make a distinct contribution to the overall learning goal?**

- **Low:** Multiple outcomes substantially overlap, repeat one another, or differ mainly in wording rather than intended learning.
- **Moderate:** Most outcomes are distinguishable, although some overlap or fragmentation exists.
- **High:** Each outcome represents a clearly distinguishable component of learning that contributes to the larger set.
- **Distinguished:** The outcomes divide the intended learning into an especially clean and purposeful structure, minimizing redundancy while preserving meaningful distinctions among concepts and capabilities.

# III. Alignment Between Learning Outcomes and Instruction

### 9. Content Alignment
**How well does the lesson address the knowledge and concepts specified in the learning outcome?**

- **Low:** Much of the content required by the learning outcome is absent, peripheral, or replaced by tangential material.
- **Moderate:** The lesson addresses some or most of the relevant content, but important components receive limited or incomplete attention.
- **High:** The lesson directly addresses the knowledge and concepts required by the learning outcome.
- **Distinguished:** The lesson is tightly focused on the intended learning, with instructional content selected and organized to develop the specific knowledge and conceptual relationships represented by the outcome.

### 10. Cognitive Alignment
**How closely does the thinking students perform during the lesson match the thinking required by the learning outcome?**

- **Low:** The lesson primarily asks students to engage in substantially simpler or different thinking than the outcome requires.
- **Moderate:** Students engage in some of the required thinking, but much of the lesson remains at a lower level of cognitive demand.
- **High:** Students have meaningful opportunities to engage in the type and level of thinking specified by the learning outcome.
- **Distinguished:** The lesson consistently places the intended cognitive work with students, providing multiple opportunities to practice and deepen the precise forms of reasoning, analysis, application, or transfer called for by the outcome.

### 11. Opportunity to Learn
**Does the lesson provide sufficient instructional support and practice for students to achieve the learning outcome?**

- **Low:** Students receive little meaningful instruction, modeling, practice, feedback, or other support needed to achieve the outcome.
- **Moderate:** Students encounter the relevant material and have some opportunity to practice, but support or practice may be limited relative to the demands of the outcome.
- **High:** The lesson provides sufficient explanation, experience, practice, and/or feedback for students to reasonably develop the intended learning.
- **Distinguished:** The lesson provides a deliberate sequence of learning experiences that develops prerequisite knowledge, supports productive struggle, and gives students substantial opportunities to practice and consolidate the intended learning.

# IV. Alignment Between Learning Outcomes and Assessment

### 12. Evidence Alignment
**How well does the assessment or student task elicit evidence of the learning described by the outcome?**

- **Low:** The assessment provides little or no evidence of whether students achieved the stated learning outcome.
- **Moderate:** The assessment addresses the general content of the outcome but measures only part of the intended learning or uses a different level of cognitive demand.
- **High:** The assessment directly elicits evidence of the knowledge and thinking specified by the learning outcome.
- **Distinguished:** The assessment elicits clear, sufficient, and interpretable evidence of the full intent of the learning outcome, including the appropriate content, cognitive demand, and application of learning.
