Introduction

This is a package of demonstration material that illustrates one way that Sakai could be used to implement portions of an assessment strategy using the AAC&U Essential Learning Outcomes and VALUE rubrics. It is not a comprehensive solution and should be regarded as an early release. Feedback of any sort is welcome. Below we attempt to qualify this implementation with some assumptions and related limitations:

Assumptions and Limitations

Each AAC&U VALUE rubric includes a statement that says:

Each semester, students are expected to complete a column of the proficiency matrix and describe their progress towards each ofthe program's proficiencies. They also describe the teaching placements that they have experienced during the semester and an overall statement of their "Emerging Theory".

This template works with the Syracuse University School of Education Proficiency matrix to generate a web based presentation of the submitted evidence, reflections on each proficiency and the student's overall emerging theory of teaching at each stage of their program. The audience for this portfolio is a panel of reviewers that assess the student's ability to critically reflect and explain their practice.
