21st Century Competencies Exemplar Rubrics (Factors Affecting Student Achievement) K-12

21st Century Competencies Exemplar Rubrics (Factors Affecting Student Achievement)

The following zipped folder contains example rubrics for each of the 7 Competencies (Character, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Communication, Creativity, Computer & Digital Technologies, Cultural & Ethical Citizenship) for grades K-5, 6-9 and 10-12 grade level.   These rubrics could be used to assess 21st century skills or competencies.  These were originally designed on a 5 point scale, and have been redeveloped to reflect a 4 point scale –  and are now connected to the language of Factors Affecting Student Achievement (FASA). 

Keep in mind that the best rubrics are actually developed BY the students FOR the students.  These are examples that could be useful in developing your own.  We encourage you to involve the students in the process.
