Description
A score of two indicates that the student
demonstrates a thorough understanding of
the social studies concepts embodied in the
learning expectation. When required,
student explanations and/or interpretations
are clear and complete. Responses may
contain minor flaws that do not detract from
the demonstration of a thorough
understanding.
A score of one indicates that the student
demonstrates a partial understanding of the
social studies concepts embodied in the
learning expectation. The student may arrive
at acceptable conclusions or provide
adequate interpretations but demonstrates
some misunderstanding of the underlying
social studies concepts.
A score of zero indicates that the student
demonstrates very limited to no
understanding of the social studies concepts
embodied in the learning expectation. The
student may provide explanations that are
uninterpretable, lack sufficient information
to determine the student’s understanding,
contain clear misunderstandings of the
underlying social studies concepts, or may be
incorrect.
