Portfolio Requirements & Department Evaluation Guide
Mon, 01/07/2008 - 10:49 — ejp10
The rubric below is a suggested guide for assessing Penn State's Teaching With Technology portfolios. Teaching assistants can use the rubrics as a checklist as they work on their portfolios. Department representatives can use this as a guide when advising students and evaluating portfolios for approval. Click on the links in the columns to see more information on that suggested requirement.
After reading the requirements below, it is suggested that students also read about the Portfolio process for more information on preparing a portfolio.
Scoring
In this rubric, each attribute may be assigned one number (0 - 3). That is, each evaluator can review the attributes associated with each component in the table, and, based on the Rating Guide, give one rating (0 - 3) for each attribute. These ratings on portfolio content, technology use, and overall evaluation can be used for discussion and decision-making.
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Requirement Missing |
| 1 | Requirement present, but significantly falls below expected standards |
| 2 | Requirement completed, but some improvement possible |
| 3 | Requirement fully meets or exceeds expectations |
Minimum Passing Score
As a rough guide, we suggest a minimum score of 41 of the 45 possible points as a reasonable score. (The 45 possible points is the result of 15 separate requirements with 3 points possible for each.)
Please note: Each department has discretion in determining the minimum for approval. Students should consult with their TWT departmental coordinators about how the portfolio will be scored.
Portfolio Content Rubric
The suggested rubric is divided into three sections - writing on teaching, examples of how technology wasincorporated technology into teaching and portfolio Web design.
The purpose of these categories is to allow the student to demonstrate awareness of different technology tools for teaching and how they can be combined effectively.
