What are Cross-Curricular Skills? • Techniques, strategies and routines that students perform in order to learn • They create a framework for processing concepts • When internalized, they may be applied across the curriculum in various contexts

Why Collaborate? • Students may get confused if teachers use different strategies or language to define a very similar skills set • Skills may be defined too specifically in each discipline for students to make connections • Students can use the same rubric for a project occurring once per discipline

Two Types of Skills Rubrics • Graduated Holistic Rubric • Supports developmentally appropriate “leaps” as students approach a grade level benchmark • The same rubric format and language can be used to graduate from quarter to quarter, and from grade level to level • Standards-Based Rubric • Maintains the same standard throughout a course or grade level • Provides the option of assessing only certain criteria in a single assignment

Professional Development in Your School • Articulate common skills across disciplines • Benchmark skills from grade level to grade level • Graduate rubrics to attain grade level benchmarks over time, in developmentally appropriate ways • Identify how to teach and practice skills • Developassessment tools • Collectdata to evaluate our pedagogy and assessment tools • Refinethe tools to meet new needs or clarify past confusions
