Sorry to be so slow getting this on the blog...
My understanding, based on our class discussion on Monday, is that the following are suggestions for areas to be addressed in the assessment of your lesson plan presentations:
*Creativity
*Effort
*Standards/Benchmarks
*Clarity (Communication)
*Content (Not sure what was meant by this...interest? amount (substance)? relevance?...)
*Evidence of incorporation of/addressing various aspects of pedagogy (i.e., differentiated instruction/diversity, technology, assessment, strategies, learning environment, classroom management, etc.)
*Goals accomplished (Again, not sure exactly what this means...correlation of assessment(s) to objective(s)? Self-evaluation of "success" of lesson?...)
I think this is a very good start. I think I might also add--
*Student engagement, and possibly--
*Consistency with stance
I think another big area in assessing your lesson plans is evidence of reflection/self-assessment (surprise, surpise). I actually believe that the "success" of this first attempt is less important than your evaluation/response to it.

I consider self-assessment very important because when we evaluate our own strenghths, weaknesses, and good or bad performances. We mature in the process of learning and teaching. Acceptance of our own results and being proactive can bring consistency with our stance but also we will be working on students engagement through the lesson.
I am kind of old school in the sense that I say "set the bar and let me reach for it" then assess me by how close I got to or how much I exceeded the bar.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's assessment is the fairest of them all? Why Dr. Scott's, of course.
(might we had brownie points to the rubric?) I like the self-assessment/reflection part and I think it takes a little pressure off knowing that our own post-evaluation is more important than our 'success,' especially because I always get stage fright with these things. Please forgive me if I'm picturing you all in your underwear during my presentation.
when i said content i meant- did the lesson contain a good amount of information? like not too much, not too little (7 things + or - 2) and was the content of the lesson interesting and engaging? do you think that you will remember this? do you think students will remember this? was the accompaning activity enjoyable?
