Present an interest profile to a small group
When to use this goal
For middle school students who cannot describe their interests beyond a single word, which makes club choices, electives, and new friendships harder. Present levels decide fit, not grade. The profile can be a slide, a poster, a video, or a page.
- Baseline
- Ask the student to talk about their interests for one to two minutes with one adult and score it on the rubric. Note whether they give reasons or only names of things. Score only what the student says, writes, signs, or does; never use a self-esteem rating or a mood scale as the criterion.
- Tips
- Speaking in front of peers is not the point; a recorded video or a profile shown to one adult can meet the goal. Use the profile to choose clubs and electives so it has a real use.
- Limits
- A rubric score reflects one prepared presentation. It does not measure everyday conversation about interests or whether the student joins the activities named.
