This assessment rubric has been designed to use alongside the ‘Connections to Country’ assessment task provided in the Importance of Country to First Nations Australians Foundation unit. There are 3 levels to select from, from each expectation within the code. There is also a section to tick off HASS skills as you observe them throughout the unit plus a notes section to record any additional teacher notes and observations.
Print the rubric out at the beginning of the unit so that you can record any observations or HASS skills demonstrated by each of your students.
