The Task and Goal Alignment Rubric: A Tool for Assessing the Alignment of Mathematical Tasks and Goals
School Science and Mathematics, v124 n2 p111-125 2024
Mathematics education researchers suggest that it is important for teachers to select mathematics tasks that align with their goals for students; however, this can be challenging as there are many facets of alignment to consider. In this article, I present a rubric that details the alignment between tasks and learning goals. This rubric was developed by adapting the Achieve protocol and making modifications based on responses of a Delphi model panel that applied the rubric. I then discuss the use of this rubric with preservice teachers in a course about teaching mathematics with technology and the positive impact it had on their understanding and ability to align tasks and learning goals. I conclude with possible future uses of this rubric for researchers, teachers, and teacher educators.
