Assessment

Print friendly version below

Assessment within this unit is varied. There is no 'test', however there are areas of learning that are assessed. At the beginning, there is a Mind Map thinking routine that has both teacher and student to evaluate prior knowledge. This thinking routine is repeated at the end of the unit for students to evaluate 'what they knew' and 'what they now know' . Questionnaires, Surveys, graphing data, class discussion, and Blog entries are all designed to have students assess and evaluate their own learning. Students work toward a more complete understanding of their passions and build a confidence in knowing that against all obstacles and pressures they are capable of experiencing what it is that brings them the most joy.

A rubrik is designed for both student and teacher to complete.
