Requirements |
Conflict resolution skills, training students in these skills, and crisis intervention plans are discussed in the context of their presence in the district’s policies. |
Topics are addressed, but specific references to district plan are unclear. |
One or more topics is addressed in too cursory a fashion. |
A clear understanding of the required topics is not obvious in the discussion. |
Conflict resolution |
A clear understanding of conflict resolution emanates from the discussion of district policy. |
Glimmers of understanding of conflict resolution show in the discussion |
Some minor, but essential piece of understanding of conflict resolution is missing |
Knowledge of conflict resolution techniques is perfunctory. |
Analysis |
Discussion of the district policy is a thoughtful analysis, well couched in contextually appropriate conflict resolution strategies and ideas. |
Discussion of the district policy is thorough, but doesn’t examine the policies in the context of the district |
Some minor aspect of the discussion seems flawed or is confusing. |
Discussion is cursory, and may not examine the breadth of policy available from the district. |
Form |
Writing is as succinct as possible and grammatical/spelling errors are minimal (<5). Ideas are organized in a logical way that is easy to follow. |
Minor errors occur grammar /spelling mistakes that don’t affect the meaning of the writing. |
Organizational errors occur - mistakes that make the writing a little confusing. |
Major errors occur, which make the meaning difficult to understand. |
