Anchoring: A Process for Establishing Performance Standards
Time Frame: (3 hours)
Anchoring refers to the process of selecting examples of student work to reflect performance standards. These examples, known as anchors, provide tangible and specific illustrations of various levels of quality or degrees of proficiency based upon established criteria. The collaborative process of selecting anchors helps teachers to reach agreement on what it means to "meet the standard." Anchors also assist teachers and students to better understand "how good is good enough" and how to apply performance criteria more consistently. Workshop participants will learn and apply a structured process for anchoring student work.
