Scoring Guide
2012–2013
Introduction
In the Culminating Project Assessment for Certification Scoring Guide for Geography for
Tourism, you will find the guidelines for scoring the work submitted by students for the
course culminating project. Please review the scoring guidelines; they will provide you
with the necessary information you need to score the student work.
General Scoring Guidelines
The general guidelines for scoring student work submitted for course culminating
projects apply to all National Academy Foundation course culminating projects. They
include the following:

You must consider spelling, grammar, and punctuation when scoring the
students’ work. Because the work samples and reflections are intended to be
reflective of work that students would perform in professional settings, it is
important that the students follow proper rules of spelling, grammar, and
punctuation.

The students are expected to submit two work samples and a final product.
Without the two work samples and final product, as well as the reflections, the
evidence required for certification assessment is incomplete and the student
score for the culminating project must be Insufficient Evidence. The students
must submit one work sample from the Planning Stage and one from the
Implementation/Production Stage. The students should submit their best work
samples. They must also submit the final product(s). If the students submit more
than the required number of work samples for each stage, you will review and
evaluate the two work samples that demonstrate their best work. Students do
not receive extra credit for the additional work samples.

Although the students will be working in groups on the culminating projects, you
will evaluate them individually and not as a group. Students working on the
same project may submit the same work samples, if the work samples represent
the best work of each student. However, they must each submit a copy of the
work sample and their individual reflections to be evaluated and scored in the
Student Certification Assessment System.

The students are required to complete one reflection for each work sample
selected for each stage and for the final product that they upload to the Student
Certification Assessment System. The students will be prompted by the Student
Certification Assessment System with a series of questions that help them to
complete the reflection when they upload each work sample and the final
product. Responses to reflection questions may be prepared in advance of
uploading the work sample and then typed (or copied and pasted) into the
1
answer fields provided, but it is critical that these reflections are prepared by
individual students. This is not a group writing assignment. No two students
should have identical reflections. The students may not submit reflections as a
group. The reflections provide an opportunity for each student to demonstrate
what she/he has learned when developing each work sample at the different
stages of the project.
Guidelines for the Scoring Rubric
The scoring rubric, which is found online in the Student Certification Assessment System, is
comprised of three dimensions against which student work is evaluated: evidence of
content knowledge, evidence of awareness of own abilities and performance, and
evidence of contribution and collaboration. In addition, the student work is assigned an
overall score. All three dimensions and the overall score are rated on a five-point scale
from 4 to 0. The scoring rubric appears on the next two pages. It can also be found in
Appendix C of the Student Certification Assessment System—Administration Guide.
You will use the scoring rubric to score each student’s work on the project as a whole and
not as separate pieces. In other words, you will not be scoring each of the work samples
and reflections separately. You will consider the work samples, the final product, and the
reflections as a whole when scoring the student work. The overall score is a holistic score
and not an accumulation of points from the previous sections. You will score the student
work samples after the student has submitted all of the work. Descriptions for the
dimensions of the scoring rubric appear on page 5, immediately following the scoring
rubric.

Scoring Rubric Dimensions

Evidence of Understanding of Major Ideas, Concepts, and Skills Covered in All of
the Targeted Learning Objectives: The intent of evidence of understanding of
content knowledge, course skills, critical thinking skills, and communication skills
is to determine whether students have learned and can apply the concepts and
ideas of the course. Students are scored separately for their understanding of
content knowledge and for their ability to apply their knowledge.
o Evidence of understanding of content knowledge and skills reflects
whether the students demonstrate an understanding of the ideas and
concepts identified in the targeted learning objectives identified in the
reflection.
o Evidence of application of content knowledge, technical skills, criticalthinking skills, and communication skills reflects whether the work
samples, the final product, and the reflections submitted by the students
demonstrate that the students have appropriately applied the concepts
they have identified in the reflections on the work samples.

Evidence of Awareness of Own Abilities and Performance: The intent of evidence
of quality reflection is to determine whether the students are able to take
responsibility for their own learning by critically evaluating the quality of their
work samples and final product(s) in relation to the concepts learned in the
course. They may do this by identifying the strengths and limitations of their
work, as well as by suggesting strategies to improve their work.

Evidence of Contribution and Collaboration: The intent of evidence of
contribution is to determine how much each of the students participated in the
development and completion of the culminating project. The students are
expected to submit samples of individual work performed on the project. They
may submit group work samples from the Planning Stage and the
Implementation/Production Stage as well as the group final product. The
students should explain in their reflections their contribution to the project.

Overall Score: The overall score of the project is a holistic determination rather
than an accumulation of points or an average from the previous sections.
Students may exhibit different strengthens and weaknesses in the sections, but
may receive the same overall scores. Sections may be weighted differently for
each student, depending on the quality of the work samples and reflections
submitted by each student.

project. It indicates a limited ability to apply the concepts and ideas learned in
the course to the work samples or to reflect on the quality of the work
submitted. It indicates that the student takes limited responsibility for his own
learning. It also indicates that the student demonstrates a limited contribution
through all stages of the project. There are significant content, grammatical, or
presentation errors in the project work samples or reflections. The work
submitted is below the expectations for the completion of the project.
Indicates that the student demonstrates a minimal understanding of the
project. It indicates a minimal ability to apply the concepts and ideas learned in
the course to work samples or to reflect on the quality of the work submitted. It
indicates that the student does not take responsibility for his own learning. It
also indicates that the student demonstrates minimal or no contribution
through all stages of the project. There are major content, grammatical, or
presentation errors in the project work samples or reflections. The work
submitted is well below the expectations for the completion of the project.

0 Points
Insufficient
Evidence
Indicates that the student has submitted an insufficient number of work
samples from the Planning Stage, the Implementation/Production Stage,
and/or the final product, and reflections to evaluate the contribution of the
student to the group through all stages of the project. The work demonstrates
insufficient evidence for scoring.
How to Use the Scoring Rubric
Following are exemplars of rubrics that have been annotated for each of the overall
score points for the Principles of Hospitality and Tourism course in the Academy of
Hospitality and Tourism. These exemplars will give you a sense of how to distinguish the
score points in the scoring rubric.
Scoring Instructions
1. Review the exemplars in the Culminating Project Assessment for Certification
Scoring Guide before you score the work submitted by a student to understand
the quality of student work and reflections associated with the score points.
2. Review the student’s two work samples, the final product, and the reflections as
a whole.
3. If a student has not submitted the complete project (all of the work samples, the
final product, and the three reflections), score the project as Insufficient
Evidence.
4. Evaluate the student’s work against the scoring rubric in the Student
Certification Assessment System to determine how you should score the
student’s work.
5. Once you have determined which scores to award the student’s work, enter your
scores in the Student Certification Assessment System using the scoring rubric.
