(CLICK TO VIEW) QUEST MIDDLE SCHOOL RUBRIC
For report card purposes, QUEST is a Pass/Fail course. However, the report card grade is only one method of communicating what your child is achieving in QUEST.
Our goal for your student is to think critically and creatively, generating high-quality ideas and solutions. To help students identify areas of strength and areas for improvement and to demonstrate progress, we use a QUEST rubric with four targeted areas: Task Commitment, Process, Product, and Presentation. Each area has several key descriptors we look for during a QUEST project. Each area receives a score from 1 to 4 (4 being the highest score) by the end of a project. In addition, your child receives a Holistic Score for the entire project and all its components. Unlike the Language Arts rubrics, the QUEST rubric scores do not translate into specific grades. They indicate levels of achievement. The goal is for all QUEST students to demonstrate proficiency in each learning experience.
In order to receive a Pass for the report card grade, a student must earn a Holistic Score for the project of at least a 2.5. Students are encouraged to achieve at the proficient and innovative levels. The rubric indicates areas that need to be improved, and any student not scoring a Holistic Score of at least a 2.5 is expected to make improvements in order to reach that score—and Pass. QUEST is about growth as well as high standards of achievement, and the goal is to develop both in our students.
