13 Standards of Grading Progress for All Curriculum Subjects We are a Pivot Point Member School. We use the Pivot Point methods and curriculum. With each of the modules there are various exercises and practical applications which must be learned and accomplished by the Student. To help assess the progress of the student in the curriculum, Rubrics are provided for each area of each module which provides a self assessment as well as allowing the instructor to work with the student during that assessment to improve and gain confidence and skills. The criterion for the practical grading is contained on the rubric assessment. The Rubrics and the rubric format are used for class room assignment and day to day practical practice. Formal/phase shift, mock board and mid-point assessment evaluations are completed using a YES or NO format. This method of grading those evaluations has been adopted as that is the method used by the examination company for the actual licensing exam. Each practical grade sheet is broken down to task lines that have a designated point value. If the point deductions are greater than 25, the student would then have a numerical grade of less than 75 and would be required to re take that evaluation area as per the grading criterion. HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED The criteria sheets and rubrics look at stages of progress. These tools are in number format. A score of 0 or Unsatisfactory and would mean that you are unable to complete the task, need constant supervision, and work is less than satisfactory. A score of 1 in an area would mean that it is a Level 1" or you require constant assistance to complete the task. A score of 2 in an area would mean that you are able to complete the task with some assistance, or is a Level 2. A score of 3 would mean that you are able to complete the task independently and that you have achieved entry-level Proficiency in that area and are at a Level 3. A check in the teacher s assessment box would indicate a yes that you had completed the task successfully, while the lack of a check would indicate a NO that you did not complete the task line successfully and no points would be given. These types of assessments are used in your classroom and in your practical clinic practice. This format is consistent with the rubric sheets you are using from your books in practice and will make them a simple check list for you to evaluate yourself and/or your instructor to use. The elements of each service or skill have been broken down to areas that are necessary for mastery of the area. This provides you and the instructor with an objective forum in which each element of that skill may be evaluated. The criteria will help you determine your expected timing, skill, knowledge, and mastery of each element that is important to that service. The Rubrics and the rubric format are used for class room assignment and day to day practical practice Your overall evaluation will be rated using the following criteria. Formal/phase shift, mock board and mid-point evaluations are considered to be MAJOR assessments. The criterion are evaluated using a YES or NO format. This method of grading those evaluations has been adopted as that is the method used by the examination company for the actual licensing exam. Each practical grade sheet is broken down to task lines that have a designated point value. If the point deductions are greater than 25, the student would then have a numerical grade of less than 75 and would be required to re take that evaluation area as per the grading criterion Excellent or (A) - Performs task at a salon quality level. 3 was answered to most questions. 2 s are scored only in non critical areas.
