**Standard 8** ** Teachers know how to test for student progress. **  The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the pupil.


 * Evidence 1:** These are the rubrics I used in my EDT 674 PBL.




 * Rationale 1:** I created a PBL for my Advanced English 9 classes. Prior to starting the PBL, my students will read the book //Speak// by Laurie Halse Anderson, which deals with the subject of acquaintance rape and the consequences thereafter. In the PBL, my students will research date rape statistics and produce a multimedia presentation for their classmates and the community as a whole. Because of the longevity and nature of the project, students will be assessed throughout the process in both formal and informal ways to assure maximum proficiency in their final outcome. Besides a final presentation rubric, I will assess the quality of their research, students will self-assess using entrance and exit slips, and the students will also be called to evaluate their fellow group members. I have not had an opportunity to use this PBL at this time, but will next year.
