High School Science Classes Using Scales

GISH has really started using Marzano scales in it's classes.  Two particular co-taught partnerships that I have met with are using them, in particular - Jeff Ehlers and John LeCompte, as well as Bruce Kier and Taylor Montgomery.

Below is a picture of a scale being used in Ehlers/LeCompte's ESP class.  The students color in a bar graph at the bottom periodically with their current self-assessmet and scale score.  The bar graph allows the students to see their growth.




Below is a picture of a tree that Kier/Montgomery are using for students to self-assess on concepts....they have "leaves" with their names on them for each class and students move themselves up on the tree as they give themselves higher scale scores.  


Also, as preparation for the Biology final in Kier/Montgomery's class, students will be going through review stations covering the various chunks of content that they will assessed over.  Prior to the station review, they are going to self-assess themselves with a general scale over each chunk of concept and then will re-assess using the same scale at the end of their review time and prior to the Biology final.
