Evaluation
Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Teacher Notes

   The Journey Towards Tomorrow  

 

  1. The Rubric potential dimensions presented below are an example of a possible evaluation process that could be used for assessing either individual or group performance relative to any activity's processes. Please note that the indicators specifically relate to Studies of Society and Environment outcomes not directly to Literacy, Studies of the Environment, Science, Ethics and Values Education or the ICTs. Contact the foundation at www.tlpeace.org.au if you wish to have more information about peace-building outcomes.

  2. The dimensions chosen also reflect the foundation's purposes in supporting the development of critical, creative and transformative thinking processes deemed necessary for peace-building.

  3. Simple benchmarks have been identified for each dimension.

  4. Self and peer assessment processes are encouraged by the foundation.

  5. The grid can be copied and pasted onto a word document and then altered or adapted to suit the evaluation and activity negotiated.
