proficiency key
4 Highly Proficient: Rather than completing only what was required the student went beyond demos, tips and class samples. They used the learning targets as a foundation to solve the assignment in an original way. Advance skill was shown in their idea generation, reflection of process/progress, selection of the most appropriate idea for the given assignment and continued manipulation to formulate the best possible outcome.
3. Proficient: The student completed exactly what was required for the assignment fulfilling the assignment as a set of tasks to be completed with a moderate amount of originality and creative thinking.
2. Developing Proficiency: Some evidence that the student can execute the required learning targets is present but overall skill is rudimentary or only partially displayed.
1. Lacking Proficiency: Little to no evidence of skill is present.
