Grading+in+Drama

//__ What do the scores mean? __//
Below is an image of the 4 categories that are used to assess learning and understanding in drama. Each assignment is scored on an 8 point scale with 5/6 falling in the proficient range. Most students are able to reach a level of "Proficient". Proficient means that the student has met the standard for the unit, lesson, assignment, or course. Students who demonstrate a knowledge and understanding above and beyond their same aged peers may achieve a level of "Extending".



Subject/Lesson/Activity Specific Rubrics are available on each assignment page. In the event that a rubric is not available for a specific subject/lesson/activity, the general rubric above will be used.

** FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS **  Formative assessments are designed to help the student and instructor gauge how the student is understanding the material. Formative assessments are not graded (they do not affect the students grade in powerschool), but they are assessed based on the rubric. The formative assessments together give me an accurate picture of how you are doing on the particular unit, lesson, or subject matter.  //**examples of a formative assessment may be**//: reflection questions, dress rehearsals, observation by teacher, character analysis, etc.

** SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS **  Summative assessments are designed to inform the student and instructor about the students understanding of a particular topic, lesson, unit, or concept. It is the final assessment where the student demonstrates what they know and understand. A summative assessment is graded and will impact the grade on powerschool.  //**examples of a summative assessment may be**//: final performance of a unit, oral or written test on knowledge material, presentation on a topic, etc
