🕵️What to look for:  Creating an Assignment

‘Assignment’ Tab

❑ Name of the assignment reflects the learning outcome, rather than generic statements. (See standards tab)

❑ The “Count in Traditional Final Grade” is unchecked.

❑ “Extra Points” should not be used. These are “bonus points” that do not follow best assessment practices.

‘Standards’ Tab

❑ Learning Outcomes (Standards) are attached.

❑ 1-3 Learning Outcomes is a reasonable expectation

❑ KUSPs may or may not be attached.

❑ If the category is “Summative K-4”, the “Count in Grade” is checked.

❑ If the category is “Formative K-4”, the “Count in Grade” is unchecked.
