The Presentation Scoring Rubric contains statements that express the best practice for Field Day instruction. The 5 point scale is designed with three descriptive levels of criteria.

• Remember that this is an absolute scale. You should not compare between stations and presenters (and thus “grade” them on a curve), but determine in each situation the degree to which the best practice was met or exceeded.
• Be careful to remain true to the individual dimension that each item on the tool is trying to measure. You may be tempted to make allowances for the time of the day, type of kids in the session or the inexperience of the presenter, but the ratings must remain stable.
