My department has been working over the last few years to articulate our goals among ourselves and to our students. We aim for growth, but at the end of the year felt that we were not clearly building in the steps for our students. So we took our rubrics that were labeled as the proficiency levels and built in steps that lead to the next level. We built in words that showed they are trying, but not consistently meeting those levels.
We've made them for speaking in both interpersonal and presentational modes. I can see these working as we consider revamping our writing rubrics as well.
Novice High Level 1
Novice High Level 2
Intermediate Low
Intermediate Mid
Intermediate High
Now....I'm sharing these...but they've not been tested yet! We're excited about them, though and think they'll be useful in coaching students appropriately in the upcoming school year.
