To The Root Of It

Assessment

Assessment is crucial to any unit of study you introduce to your students.  The assessment process should  include the assessment of the student's individual mastery of the concepts introduced as well as the effectiveness of the activities you choose to utiltize in introducing those new concepts.  Hopefully, through good assessment practices, you will always be able to modify and adjust your unit to include new materials that may come available or to delete any materials that were not effective to student learning.

The rubric I developed will assess student skills in the following areas:
   Math:  sorting
   Science:  identification of plant parts; elements needed for plant
          growth
   Social Skills:  participation
   Oral Language:  vocabulary usage

Due to level of students this unit is suggested for, you may also find it beneficial to keep a clipboard with target skills you have identified.  You may then check student progress as they participate in focus, inquiry, and application activities.

The rubric was developed using a generic rubric generator from:
