ATL Skills Assessment Rubrics for Lower Grades

Finally, self assessment and meaningful reflection for our younger IB PYP learners. Following on from the highly popular write and draw Learner Profile and Thinking Skills resources, this IB PYP write and draw resource will have your students reflecting and assessing their own progress in a fun, engaging and meaningful way as they become adept with the sub skills within the IB PYP Approaches to Learning Skills. Designed for Kindergarten up to Grade 2.

•Thinking

•Research

•Communication

•Social

•Self Management

Through the concept of REFLECTION and the Learner Profile attribute of BEING reflective, the children are asked to analyse their own application of the sub-skills commonly relating to kindergarten up to grade 2. With editable templates, you can add your own success criteria and even co-create success criteria with the children, adding them to both the 5 Star Rubric format and the Reflect & Draw Score chart.

Both formats of rubric will challenge your students to think critically and creatively, encouraging their voice and ownership and ultimately accountability with their own progress of the ATL Skills.

The "Read, Draw, Write" style worksheet encourages students to read the words from the simple language within the success criteria, use them to create sentences to describe their drawings and to self-assess using the rubric too.

Great to use with:

•Focus skills within your units of inquiry

•Reflection activities

•Evidence of progressive skills development

•Student/Peer/Teacher feedback

•Self assessment of writing skills

•Encouraging student agency

•Student led conferences

Each page provides space for the children to illustrate their own example and then to write a sentence about how they applied the specific skills. An image related to key words is included to help students generate ideas when writing about their creations. The rubric included on each sheet encourages self-assessment of writing as well! Win-win!

An extra lined writing page has also been included at the end of the packet for differentiation, should they wish to write more. Just print this page on the back of any sheet to provide more writing space.
