This sample rubric is for assessing technical elements that students need to know to be successful if they challenge the first-period apprenticeship exam. The rubric does not include the last two common outcomes that address the demonstration of teamwork and personal management and identification of steps to achieve personal goals. It is the certificated teacher’s responsibility to ensure that all outcomes are taught and assessed.

Assessment Tools / Notes
Checklist / · Prior to instruction, a copy of the checklist should be provided to the student to review outcomes that will need to be demonstrated.
· The student may use this checklist as a guide when completing this course.
· The teacher should review and sign the checklist when the course is complete to ensure student outcomes have been successfully demonstrated.
Rubric / · Prior to instruction, a copy of the rubric should be provided to the student to review and reflect on meeting expectations set out in the criteria.
· This rubric may be used as one element of an assessment process. Teachers should use both formative and summative assessments to ensure students’ competency in this course.
