What to do
At this point in the unit, this rubric rating should be considered a formative assessment as students will have more experiences with engineering design in upcoming lessons. For example, teams will likely all score no evidence or missing on “Combining parts of design solutions” in this lesson because they will not have had a chance to compare their design with other teams’ designs until Lesson 7. Likewise, it is not expected that teams will be at the secure level for “Optimizing design solutions” until Lesson 9 when they have had a chance to redesign based on their work leading up to that lesson. When teams (and you) reassess their work in Lesson 9 using this same rubric, they should be able to show growth in these engineering design practices.
