How Do I Ensure That Students Meet Standards? Question: How do I ensure that students meet standards-and meet enough of them to make the effort worthwhile-in open-ended activities and projects?

Concerns || Solutions || Making sure all students meet standards. || Students must //make// or //do// something authentic in response to the problem -- research papers or multimedia presentations alone rarely qualify as useful solutions to problems in the world outside the classroom, although they may be valid components of the problem-solving process || How to incorporate technology into the project. || Students should have access to the same or nearly the same kinds of tools and technology adults use in similar situations. || Performance assessments || Tests of information recall and process skills are valid for evaluating those abilities but are not valid for measuring depth of understanding or multifaceted thinking ability such as problem solving. Making fair and meaningful judgments of such competencies requires learners to show what they can //do// with new knowledge. Through the products and performances they create, students reveal what they know and what they haven't yet fully grasped. || How should students be grouped? || Each group of students should have a cross sectional grouping of the student population. || How do I keep students on track? || Open project with a demonstration and detailed explanation. While students are in the process of the project, encourage questions. Through the answers given the teacher will guide the students to the correct solution. || Are there teacher resources that can be utilized to help? || Other teachers, several websites and personal research. || How do I ensure parental involvement? || Conduct parent teacher conferences, newsletters and phone calls. ||
