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 Develop assessment tools Collect data to evaluate our pedagogy and
assessment tools Refine the tools to meet new needs or clarify past
confusions
