Progression Scales – HOW? Step 1: Unpack a standard Ask: For students to achieve proficiency, what will they need to know/understand and be able to do? Step 2: Place the standard in student friendly language You are to create a scale that addresses all the key elements of the learning goal as it moves from less complexity to increased difficulty (explicit to implicit in some cases).

Secondary Examples Students track progress on a tracking sheet in their journal. Evidence is included for each tracking point. (The summative assessment includes questions at all levels on the scale.) P

Students track progress directly on the scale with star stickers, notating the date a level is achieved. Students record evidence in their reflection journals. P

Students keep track of progress directly on the scale using evidence identified on a specific assessment. Concepts and skills mastered are checked off for the identified assessment(s). PreTest – 1.5 √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ Quiz – 2.5 √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ P

Post-Assessment Rate yourself on what you now know about learning goals and progression scales. Use the scale below to guide you: 19 Level What it means… 4: I can identify, develop and communicate learning goals and an associated scale; I can extend what I know about learning goals to create and use scales to monitor student progress. I can also differentiate my learning goals and scales for unique learners and situations. 3: I can identify, develop and communicate clear learning goals and an associated scale; I can create, use, and modify scales to support a learning goal. 2: I have a basic understanding of learning goals and scales; I can identify, develop, or communicate a learning goal and associated scale if I have resources that identify priority issues and appropriate sequences. 1: I have a limited understanding of learning goals and scales; I can identify and develop learning goals and scales if I have resources and assistance. 0: Even with help, I do not understand learning goals.
