Looking at Student Work Why look at student work?

Show Me the Evidence Protocol 1.Examine the standard. 2.Consider the prompt. 3.Identify the evidence you would expect to see in a specific common assessment. 4.Examine student work samples. Is the evidence there? 5.Discuss the implications of your findings. 6.Identify next steps. Today we will look at steps 1 - 3

Standard Analyze the aims and negotiating roles of world leaders, the terms and influence of the Treaty of Versailles and Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, and the causes and effects of the United State’s rejection of the League of Nations on world politics.

The Prompt Evaluate the Treaty of Versailles from the perspective of the United States, one other Allied power (Great Britain or France), and Germany. Be certain to include the national aims and actual outcomes for each country, and the impact of Wilson’s Fourteen Points in your answer.

What evidence do we expect to see that would demonstrate mastery of the standard? 1.Write an introductory paragraph that contains background on the Treaty of Versailles and a thesis statement evaluating the Treaty. 2.Write one paragraph from the perspective of the United States that includes its national aims and actual outcomes regarding the Treaty of Versailles. 3.Write one paragraph from the perspective of France that includes its national aims and actual outcomes regarding the Treaty of Versailles. 4.Write one paragraph from the perspective of Germany that includes its national aims and actual outcomes regarding the Treaty of Versailles. 5.Conclusion explaining whether or not France and the United States got what they wanted from the treaty.

Step Two -- Here’s What: Examine student work samples. + = Evident - = Not evident ? = Not clear if evident or not evident(If not clear, why not?)

Step Two: Examine student work samples. Record if evidence is –present (+) –absent (-), –unclear (?) Criteria 1Criteria 2Criteria 3Criteria 4Criteria 5 Student ? Student Student Student 5 ++ ? ++

Step Three -- So What: What are the implications of your findings?  What does the data tell us?  What does the data not tell us? Step Four -- Now What: What are our next steps? What are the positive outcomes that can be replicated in future lessons? How can we address the needs in future lessons?
