Are you in a district or area that has decided against using participation marks? Some teachers are moving instead to using “skills practice.” For example, instead of a participation mark for group work, identify the skills you’re looking for when students work in groups – and give a mark for when students are actively practicing those skills. This template shows you how to build a chart you can use to assess skills practice.

Assessment in the Drama classroom can be hard enough, but assessment in a VIRTUAL Drama classroom can present some real challenges. How do we fairly assess students who we may never have seen in person? Or started virtually and then went hybrid? Or a "half and half" class?
