UNIT ASSESSMENT TOOLS:

--RUBRIC

  • To achieve mastery the student must have an ‘A’ or ‘B’ evaluation for each segment of the assessment rubric below.
  • A student is “not yet” if they have not shown mastery of all the areas.
  • There are two parts to the assessment of each unit: 1) an “evaluation guide” for evaluating TSW 1 and TSW 2 and 2) the “assessment rubric”
  • To receive an ‘A’ in a unit the student must have ‘A’s’ in four of the six areas in TSW 1 and TSW 2 on the assessment rubric and at least a ‘B’ in all the other TSW’s on the assessment rubric.
  • An ‘E’ (Exposure) can be given if a student shows diligent effort at achieving mastery but is unable to show mastery because of something out of their control (ie. physical challenges, sight challenges, poor attendance).
