Suggested Learner Quality Categories

Suggested categories for each Learner Quality are listed as the bulleted items within the category/Learner Quality. These were developed based on the work of the sixth grade teams at London. (Fall 2008)

Self-Directed Learner
- Homework completion
- Projects
- Prepared for class
- Responsibility for Own Learning*

Collaborative Worker
- Small group
- Large group*

Quality Producer

- Product Professionalism

Respectful Citizen
- One:One
  • to peers**
  • to adults**
- Group
  • Small**
  • Large**

Categories marked with an asterisk or two asterisks are categories that make sense and represent an important component of the Learner Quality but which we do not believe most of us are prepared to assess at this time. It is not recommended that teams create these categories as of yet, but it is recommended that as teams continue discussing student assessment, they consider these aspects of the Learner Qualities.
