Welcome back to the High School Corner!

It’s that time of year again! As December rolls around, the high schoolers are taking some time to reflect and assess their work up to this point in the school year. 

At the end of each semester, students use a rubric to evaluate their work in each class they are taking. Students use this rubric to assess their knowledge and skills, engagement in class discussions and group projects, quality of work, and level of preparation and timeliness. After students evaluate themselves in each class, the guides review the student’s work using the same rubric. Then, in a private meeting, the guides present their assessments to us and explain the reasoning behind them. During these meetings, the guides and students discuss the grades the students have given themselves and the grades given by the guides. Having an open dialogue with our guides about our work is extremely helpful and allows us to truly take ownership of our education.

Feel free to click this link to view the rubric we use to guide our assessments. 

Please contact the High School guides if you have any further questions.

 Thank you for reading this edition of the High School Corner!
