Self-Awareness

Examining current performance critically to identify steps/strategies to persist
 

I reflected superficially or inaccurately on my progress, and struggled to determine next steps, or stopped trying to move towards my goal.

I struggled to identify problem(s), disregarded, and/or did not consider [feelings, values/biases, contributions, successes, strengths and/or areas for growth]. As a result, I did not move towards my goal. 

I reflected on my progress towards my goal, considering some rubrics, models and feedback, resulting in next steps that did not fully match my needs.

I did not fully identify my [feelings, values/biases, contributions, successes, strengths and/or areas for growth], which resulted in a plan that was limited in its effectiveness to reach my goal.

I demonstrated resilience and a growth mindset by examining and reflecting upon rubrics, models, and feedback. 

I clearly identified my (feelings, values/biases, contributions, successes, strengths, and/or areas for growth), to develop a flexible plan to overcome challenges or modify behavior in pursuit of a specific and observable goal. 

I fully met the MPS standard with at least one of the following:
●    Reflecting with intention upon rubrics, models, and feedback, as well as my own insight, resulting in a plan that was flexible and closely matched what I needed to achieve my goal
●    Taking risks as I continued toward my goal, making several attempts to overcome challenges/ obstacles


Decision Making

Make responsible decisions, based on potential outcomes.
 

I did not manage my time well OR make a plan which considered time constraints, resources, and information available, resulting in an undesirable outcome.

I did not make responsible
and ethical decisions.
 

I made a plan to break my task/goal into bite-sized steps, but did not follow through, OR my plan did not adequately consider time constraints, resources, and information available. 

My decisions only met some of my needs and/or did not consider the impact on others.
 

I broke my task/goal into sequential, bite-sized steps based on the time constraints, resources, and information available to manage my social/emotional and academic needs.
I proposed and carried out ethical, empathetic, responsible decisions by carefully evaluating the
[context, data/evidence, resources, support, time constraints, safety, task parameters, etc.] 

My decisions were based on respect and safety for myself and others with consideration of possible consequences.

I fully met the MPS standard with at least one of the following:
●    Building in time to reflect and being considerate to other people’s schedules
●    Identifying and evaluating what was and was not working to determine alternate approaches/decisions as needed
●    Considering unintended consequences
●    Independently seeking out resources or support for myself and/or others
