Relay instructors measure student performance on assessments using the following scale:
Exemplary: Students who earn Exemplary (100%) on a rubric row have demonstrated truly outstanding performance of the knowledge, skills, or mindset described in that row. Earning an Exemplary is rare because it requires an extraordinary level of nuance and differentiation. Earning an Exemplary on all rubric rows would equate to an overall grade of A+.
Proficient: Students who earn Proficient (90%) on a rubric row have demonstrated solid, proficient performance of the knowledge, skills, or mindset described in that row. Earning a Proficient is the expected outcome, as it demonstrates competency. Earning Proficient marks on all rubric rows would equate to an overall grade of A-.
Foundational: Students who earn Foundational (75%) on a rubric row have demonstrated foundational skills with respect to the knowledge, skills, or mindset described in that row. With more support, they will likely be able to demonstrate proficiency of that strategy or skill. Earning Foundational marks on all rubric rows would equate to an overall grade of C.
Attempting: Students who earn Attempting (65%) on a rubric row have attempted the knowledge, skills, or mindset described in that row. They will need more support and/or need to put in more work before they can demonstrate proficiency with that strategy or technique. Earning Attempting marks on all rubric rows would equate to an assessment grade of D.
Lacking: Students who earn Lacking (0%) on a rubric row have not attempted to master the knowledge, skills, or mindset described in that row. Earning Lacking marks on all rubric rows would equate to an assessment grade of F.
