Skills Practice Template

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.

Weekly Ensemble Rubric

Use this rubric to assess students' contributions to the ensemble/class on a weekly basis. Part of the Middle School curriculum, Unit One: Ensemble Building and Class Norms.

As we approach the end of another difficult year, we face one last hurdle before we wrap up our classes with a little bow: Assessment!
