Summit Public Schools Cognitive Skills Rubric

As Summit Public Schools has defined them, Cognitive Skills are practices necessary for college and career readiness, synthesized from major nationally accepted standards and revised and vetted in partnership with SCALE. The cognitive skills rubric dimensions are broad enough that they have a place in all classrooms (example: all courses have a place for the selection and use of evidence, or finding relevant sources) and are further contextualized for specific subjects by using Look-Fors. They are taught and assessed through projects and used to define high-quality final products of these performance assessments. All of Summit's projects are built based off of subsets of Cognitive Skills.
