EDUC 410 - Week 1 Collaboration

Some guidelines to make our Rubric

3 common features of a rubric: -focus on measuring a stated **objective** (performance, behavior, or quality) -use a **range** to rate performance -contain specific performance characteristics arranged in levels indicating the **degree** to which standard has been met


 * list criteria/standards
 * articulate gradations of quality...indicators of good performance
 * practice on models...revise

Avoid unclear language Avoid unnecessarily negative language

Whichever tool you decide to use, however, keep the following guidelines in mind for judging the rubric's validity and reliability. A good rubric should
 * address all relevant content and performance objectives;
 * define standards and help students achieve them by providing criteria with which they can evaluate their own work;
 * be easy to understand and use;
 * be applicable to a variety of tasks;
 * provide all students with an opportunity to succeed at some level;
 * yield consistent results, even when administered by different scorers.

-professional learning committee...understand what this is. embody it and practice it. -contribution to wiki paper/site -facilitator role...will need to update wiki page. what is their role (define responsibilities) -group dynamics. in a group of 10
 * Our Objectives/Criteria to include in Rubric:**

We’ll use wiki page for: -communicating ideas...defining a communication channel (wiki page) Determine some roles/rules of interaction. set some dates/responsibilities -1 page for collaboration -1 page resource sharing -1 page for actual weekly paper -facilitator will update and post responsibilities and deadlines each week

 * What is PE to me?**

Similarities: -Putting ourselves out there. shared vulnerability. can’t hide or keep it between just you and the teacher in this class. -Escape -Freedom -Giving meaning to abstract and tangible things -Endorphins...pleasure centres. (running, listening or creating beautiful music/art, winning big game, etc) -Being in the present. EMBODIED -Instant gratification ‘in the moment’

Discussions -too much focus on past. Instead of living in the moment?? -Pros of cons of being in the moment. -Is an ‘aha’ moment...the same as being in the moment -it’s the journey, not the destination -balancing left side / right side ....left side giving right side meaning... -Sharing ideas about practice. Beliefs. Values. -Building a foundation ... Necessary in order to develop community. This is HOW we start integrating. -In order to be interdisciplinary...we need to find the intersections

Resources referred to today: -Water crystallization study [|Masaru Emoto] (Pseudoscience) -What the bleep do you know. (Pseudoscience) -Hungarian psychologist [|Mihály Csíkszentmihályi] on Flow -Jill Bolte Taylor - [|Stroke of Insight] -Thich Nhat Hahn (Vietnamese monk)

Overview for Deirdre to work with: -All our contributions should be up by Saturday night

“What do PE and Fine Arts have in common” Because we needed a foundation Why are we interested in this Hearing others perspectives to see our own fields through differents lens Water crystallization study [|Masaru Emoto] (Pseudoscience) What the bleep do you know. (Pseudoscience) Hungarian psychologist [|Mihály Csíkszentmihályi] on Flow Jill Bolte Taylor - [|Stroke of Insight] Thich Nhat Hahn (Vietnamese monk) How does this expand to integration, inclusion, interdisciplinary practice -PE and art so much more alike then we thought... -however our goals and professionals and teachers are the same
