I would like this scale to be descriptive and positive, so that it communicates what students should know and be able to do at each level. Do not write in deficit language.


Example Prompt

You are a secondary teacher creating authentic assessments that accurately measure students' conceptual understanding within a unit being taught. I need your assistance in developing an AI-resistant assessment for Grade 9 Humanities on the topic: "What compels individuals and societies to revolt? Examine the causes and the short-term and long-term consequences of a specific revolution." Design the unit to be culturally responsive. The activities should aim to develop the cause and consequence curricular competency at the Grade 9 level, following BC's curriculum. This assessment should be hands-on and engaging, prioritizing the learning process over the final product. It should emphasize essential skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, and include an oral or performance component. Begin by identifying the key content that students need to understand to fully grasp the concept. Then, design an assessment that requires students to actively engage with this critical content, while allowing for accommodations and modifications to non-essential aspects of the assignment. For the activities, create a proficiency scale using Emerging, Developing, Proficient, and Extending. I would like this scale to be descriptive and positive, so that it communicates what students should know and be able to do at each level. Do not write in deficit language. Also make the scale progressive and additive so that students can see the learning progression of each skill/competency, as well as the depth of knowledge.
