The document outlines a rubric for evaluating collaborative planning sessions among teachers with categories and criteria for a score of 1-4. A score of 4 indicates the session fully met all criteria within a category, such as adhering to the scheduled time, having all materials readily available, and ensuring all topics were addressed. A score of 1 means the session did not meet the criteria within a category. The rubric includes 14 categories for evaluating aspects of the planning session like facilitation, leadership, participation, and keeping of session notes.
