Step 7: Evaluation

Key Goals:
  • Students should be evaluated on their work habits, including (but not limited to):
    • Using time effectively
    • Showing good time management
    • Respecting others
    • Keeping areas clean
    • Using quality resources
Strategies
  • Evaluation should be an ongoing process
  • Make evaluation a part of the classroom structure
  • Use rubrics and handouts provided in the Teacher's Toolkits to get started:
    • You can determine how the evaluations will be distributed
    • You can pick and choose from multiple rubric examples that cover all parts of the project
    • They allow for feedback that provides a complete picture of the students' work
  • Evaluations help lay the ground work for future student success
