Problem
This unit focuses on assessments related to sustainability issues and the range of assessment techniques that can deepen the learning experience. Review the "Assessing Pupil Learning with Rubrics" section of the Education for Sustainability Sourcebook for a few minutes to frame this discussion. As an education professional and a UoPeople student, you are very familiar with rubrics, so this reading should serve as added learning on how to relate the use of rubrics to help student learning through globally-competent teaching and adapting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) techniques, as learned in Unit 3.
Then, view the short video "Eco-Schools Indian Ocean: from Schools to Communities." The video highlights the Eco-Schools program that helps students to take action to protect their environment and to be the change for sustainability. While watching, think about your knowledge of rubric development. Notice, too, that at timestamp 1:55, the student experience also segues nicely with our attention to this unit's learning objective that you will be competent to "...determine the instructional purpose and quality indicators of assessment as they relate to global issues, advocacy, and life-long learning."
Finally, choose a learning project identified in the video. How your students are doing in terms of meeting objectives such as:
i. Demonstrating a global competence
ii. Determining the instructional purpose and quality indicators of assessment as they relate to global issues, advocacy, and life-long learning
iii. Demonstrating authentic, performance-based assessment using multiple sources.
