Welcome, to what I believe will be the beginning of an everlasting collaboration between all science and health teachers in the Commack School District!!

With the focus on assessment at the middle school and the high school occuring at the same time, I thought it only fitting that our first wiki support this, by offering a forum for all of us to share our collective knowledge. Using this wiki, you can share your experiences with the rubrics that you have used,and the actual rubrics themselves. You can also post questions for the whole group, like a blog. It's like a universal J:Drive except much more interactive!

While the middle school is working on writing new rubrics that incorporate the IB Middle Years Programme criteria, and some of the high school teachers already use the IB Diploma Programme rubrics, there are many, many others that are being used that are extremely valuable, but may need some revision. So why should everyone write new ones when your colleagues and friends are already using them, trying out new ones, or copying them from the internet?

Please know that this is my first real venture with using a wiki, so please bear with me as I organize it over time.

Knowing the talent and enthusiasm of the science and health teachers in the Commack Middle School and the Commack High School, I truly believe that we will use these new technologies that are available to us to grow professionally in ways that were never possible before.

Thank you for joining me in this new journey.
