ETSL (Evidence of Teacher and Student Learning) RUBRIC PDF Print E-mail

The ETSL (Evidence of Teacher and Student Learning) is an online digital portfolio of student work. Over the past two years this online space has been organized to allow Arts-In-Education Partnerships funded by NYSCA (New York State Council on the Arts), consisting of a cultural institution partnered with a school in New York State, to use the space for:

  • planning an arts-integrated unit,
  • documenting what happens,
  • assessing student learning,
  • reflecting on their own learning as educators.

The ETSL RUBRIC (The SchoolWorks Lab, Inc., March 24, 2009) is not yet an official rubric for this work, but due to a variety of requests, a rubric is available. As a school reform strategy, the formal use of Rubrics for grading teacher performance is un-tested. However, the use of rubrics as guidelines for understanding across multiple classroom contexts is viewed as very helpful. The ETSL RUBRIC has five categories, or characteristic benchmarks, organized across a grid with four levels of performance descriptions.
