Tools for Assessing Behavior


Students and teachers can use these rubrics to assess students’ readiness for learning on a daily basis. The rubrics includes key affective qualities needed to become an engaged learner and a good citizen who is kind, respectful, and responsible. They address diligence, self-direction, a willingness to keep trying when challenges arise, and taking care of business in general. In addition, the rubrics offer ways to measure progress toward National Standard Four: “The physically literate individual exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others." 

​
Modify the rubrics below to fit the needs of your class (elementary, middle school, high school, college) by adding or deleting criteria. For example, in a college activity course you could add "Turning off your cell phones" under "Respect." Read the JOPERD article "Are Your Students READY for Learning?" for more information.

Tips for Implementing these Rubrics
  • Additional columns: "Focus of the Day" (students indicate whether they met the day's focus) and "Self Efficacy" (students indicate how confident they are in the lesson's skills).

  • Create an efficient system for passing out and collecting rubrics (ie. color coding).

  • Equipment should be put away before students access their rubric.

  • Involve the class in making the criteria. Make rubrics on double-sided card-stock and use different colors for each class/team.​

  • Modify the rubric to fit the needs of your class.

  • Practice filling out the rubric with your students for the first week.

  • Refer to the criteria throughout the unit.

  • ​Start with one class to get accustomed to the process.

  • Use rubrics to return student work, placing their work behind their rubric (ensure students scores are not visible to others).

  • Use the comment section to communicate with your students.

  • Use the top section of the rubric to get to know your students and develop rapport.​
