Throughout the MP, the student has been observed teasing other students in the class and has made negative comments about other students on a few occasions. The student has been reminded on a few occasions to not interrupt the teacher with questions/requests that are off-task (i.e. needing to go the restroom, what time the soccer team will be dismissed). During group work, the student has a difficult time listening to others and often interrupts others to share his opinion. The student tends to respond defensively to input from his peers and has a difficult time explaining or supporting his answers and ideas. The student has a difficult time completing tasks with quality, tending to rush through work just to get it finished. The student gets ready to leave class prior to the teacher’s direction and often leaves materials used out for others to put away.

The student speaks respectfully to the teacher and follows all directions given by the teacher. The student handles all classroom materials in a responsible manner, returning any supplies or tools to their place at the end of a class period. In small group activities, however, the student often works independently from the group and seeks assistance from the teacher rather than other members of the group. The student has shown an unwillingness to take suggestions or directions from peers and often engages in other things when one of her group members is speaking. The student has requested to be moved from a group on 2 different occasions. During group presentations, the student works on her own tasks and does not offer feedback or ask questions of those presenting information. The student has difficulty giving feedback to other members of her group.

This student demonstrates appropriate behavior consistently in all classroom activities. The student is always on task, participates respectfully in whole-class and small group activities, and is always willing to assist his group or an individual who might need help.

The student has been observed encouraging others in the group to share thoughts or opinions and frequently works to keep the group on task and focused. The student asks clarifying questions during whole class discussions and small group activities. In addition, the student has revised work based on feedback given both by teacher and by peers. The student was observed intervening when another student was being treated badly by a peer, respectfully reminding the student that making fun of someone is not acceptable behavior.

Grades on summative assessments indicate that the student has studied and prepared for them.
