  Beginning Developing Accomplished
Artifact Minimal written or visual documentation of Accomplished Practices (AP) or Reading Competencies (RC). Artifact lacks connection to AP/RC. Documentation of AC/RC is clear and logical. Some evidence of thought given to AP/RC that are clearly presented. Artifacts are carefully selected to match AP/RC. Critical linkages demonstrated in selecting and matching AP/RC to the artifact.
Rationale Rationale is not clearly stated, weak, and not supported. Disconnected links. Rationale is stated, but not adequately supported. Disconnect in link between the claim, evidence, &/or literature. Consists of a linked argument that includes AP/RC, claim, evidence, & appropriate literature.
Reflection Descriptive with no meaningful self-analysis of teaching. No student learning evidence. Changes unrelated to teacher learning and student learning. Limited self-analysis of teaching. Artifact or discussion of student learning but not both. Changes demonstrated a limited relationship between teacher learning and student learning. Seriously examines own learning and growth as a potential teacher; examines children's learning (with artifact & discussion); and identifies changes for future practice related to teacher learning and student learning.
Mechanics No evidence of proofreading. Needs work in all areas - spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Some evidence of proofreading. Still needs work in spelling, punctuation, or grammar. Thorough job proofreading in all areas - spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Defense Preservice teacher not prepared or focused in reflecting on teaching practice. Preservice teacher answers questions with reflection and made connections between artifacts and practice. Preservice teacher draws conclusions and insights from artifacts and teaching practice; is able to discuss goals for future self-guided growth; and demonstrates evidence of reflective practice.
