"Both, And, Or" - Science Grading Rubric
 |
| NTPS Science Practices Grading Rubric |
The science grading rubric defines levels of student expectations for each of the 8 SEPs. A video definition for each SEP is provided as an additional resource. Paying close attention to words like both, and, or will be especially important when assigning levels for the report card. For example, "students create models focused on predicting or explaining the natural world" means students either predict or explain, not both. "Students read and evaluate text to obtain scientific information" means to be proficient they must do both. Little words carry big meaning.
