It's EXCELLENT! EXEMPLARY! 5/5
The Student
- Independently demonstrates in-depth understanding of the learning outcomes from the program of studies
- Independently applies concepts in a wider variety of learning situations, including new contexts
- Uses required skills and strategies effectively and intuitively
Evidence (student work) of learning and mastery would exemplify MOST or ALL of these characteristics:
- The instructions to complete the assignment have all been met in a comprehensive manner.
- The visual(s) and any required explanations reveal a perceptive, insightful and exemplary application of the skills and given tasks in the assignment.
- The approach to the assignment is sophisticated, flows and makes precise sense given the context.

The Student
- Demonstrates solid understanding of the learning outcomes from the program of studies
- Independently applies concepts in most learning situations
- Uses most required skills and strategies effectively
Evidence (student work) of learning and mastery would exemplify MOST or ALL of these characteristics:
- The instructions to complete the assignment have all been met in a thorough manner.

- The visual(s) and any required explanations reveal generalized and/or marginally developed application of the skills and given tasks in the assignment.
- The approach to the assignment is general but not precise or specifically applied consistently. The flow is choppy and more utilitarian.
It's DEVELOPING/LIMITED 2/5
The Student
- Demonstrates limited understanding or incomplete understanding of the learning outcomes from the program of studies and consistently requires additional guidance and support
- Applies concepts in some learning situations with repeated guidance and support
- Uses some required skills and strategies appropriately with repeated guidance and support
Evidence (student work) of learning would exemplify MOST or ALL of these characteristics:
- Some of the tasks instructions are followed, but many elements of the assignment tasks are missing.
- The visual(s) and any required explanations reveal a simplistic and/or superficial, and confused application of the skills and given tasks in the assignment.
- The approach to the assignment is simplistic and/or superficial and not applied consistently. There is no evident flow in relation to the context.
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE 1/5

- There is a scant application of the skills and given tasks in the assignment.
- Less than half of the assignment instructions have been addressed at a minimum of a developing/limited level.
