Assessment and Rubrics

This page is the quick entry point to the curriculum's assessment pages.

Use Assessment Guide for:

• weekly evidence collection
• five low-stakes phase checkpoints
• ready-to-move-on criteria
• Systems Log checks
• age-banded learning goals
• fast rubrics for weekly and capstone artifacts

Use Environmental Checkpoint for:

• recurring systems, source, tradeoff, and data questions
• a younger-learner quick check
• careful environmental thinking routines that stay calm rather than suspicious

Use Self-Assessment for:

• learner reflection prompts
• growth-oriented "I can" statements
• final-project reflection before sharing

Use Capstone Rubric for:

• the full four-level capstone scoring table
• the Honest Environmental Systems Project Checklist
• evidence, tradeoffs, community impact, attribution, accessibility, and pitch criteria
• interpretation guidance for ages 8-9, 10-12, and optional 11-13 extensions

If you only read one assessment page first, start with Assessment Guide.
