Assessment Criteria and Achievement Levels: As an IB school, we use the MYP's subject specific assessment criteria and grading scale (0-8). Students are taught content based on Colorado's Academic Standards for Social Studies, and are assessed using the four IB Assessment Criteria listed below:
A: Knowing and Understanding
B: Investigating
C: Communicating
D: Critical Thinking
Students are scored using task specific rubrics for each assessment. Below is general guide to the 0-8 achievement scale:
0 = I did not meet any of the descriptors below.
1-2 = I showed little understanding of the subject specific objectives.
3-4 = I showed average understanding of the subject specific objectives
5-6 = I showed proficient understanding of the subject specific objectives
7-8 = I showed excellent understanding (above and beyond) of the subject
