Work Ethic Rubric

Are you using a menu or workshop format in your math block? Working levels are designed to help raise students' awareness of their own behavior, to make expectations more explicit, and to give focus to discussions about what it means to work hard.

Students of all ages must be given opportunities to discuss questions like,

"What does it look like to work hard?"

"What does it look like to be responsible? What will we see? What will we hear?"

"How will we know when we're working hard?"

A working levels rubric gives students more information about what is expected and the information they need to improve.
