No one is born able to do everything. Everyone has the ability to learn our curriculum and to
make growth in science skills and abilities. Your success in math has nothing to do with
luck. It has everything to do with how much EFFORT you put into learning the content!
Here is a rubric for you to use to self-assess how much EFFORT you are putting into daily class
discussions and work.

I respectfully listen to the information that my teacher presents during class. I volunteer to answer
questions and participate in discussions. I work on each task that I am given until I am finished. I
push myself to continue working even when a problem is challenging or difficult to understand. I
view difficult questions as an opportunity to improve. I do not rush through assignments for the sake
of finishing them, but I think about each of the questions I am answering or tasks that I am
completing to make sure that what I turn in is my BEST work. I follow directions the first time
given. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage of any
retake opportunities.
3
I listen in class and complete the assignments that are given. I push myself when problems are
difficult or challenging to complete. I check over my work before I turn it in to make sure I have
done my best. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage
of any retake opportunities.
2
I put some effort into listening during class, but often choose to think about other things while my
teacher is talking. I put some effort into solving the problems or completing tasks, but I stop when a
problem becomes difficult, or I don’t understand what I am supposed to do. I just guess and write
down something so I don’t leave anything blank. I make some effort to collaborate with others, but
get easily distracted and off task. I rarely take advantage of retake opportunities.
1
I put very little effort into listening in class and often choose to focus my attention elsewhere. I put
very little effort into solving problems or completing tasks. I skip difficult problems and either leave
them blank or copy down someone else’s work. I do not work with others in my group. I do not
follow directions. I do not take advantage of retake opportunities.
0
I put no effort into my work. I do not even complete assignments.
My EFFORT Goal for this quarter:
• Last quarter my effort score was ________.
• This quarter, I hope to improve my effort score to _________.

No one is born able to do everything. Everyone has the ability to learn our curriculum and to
make growth in science skills and abilities. Your success in math has nothing to do with
luck. It has everything to do with how much EFFORT you put into learning the content!
Here is a rubric for you to use to self-assess how much EFFORT you are putting into daily class
discussions and work.

I respectfully listen to the information that my teacher presents during class. I volunteer to answer
questions and participate in discussions. I work on each task that I am given until I am finished. I
push myself to continue working even when a problem is challenging or difficult to understand. I
view difficult questions as an opportunity to improve. I do not rush through assignments for the sake
of finishing them, but I think about each of the questions I am answering or tasks that I am
completing to make sure that what I turn in is my BEST work. I follow directions the first time
given. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage of any
retake opportunities.

I listen in class and complete the assignments that are given. I push myself when problems are
difficult or challenging to complete. I check over my work before I turn it in to make sure I have
done my best. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage
of any retake opportunities.

I put some effort into listening during class, but often choose to think about other things while my
teacher is talking. I put some effort into solving the problems or completing tasks, but I stop when a
problem becomes difficult, or I don’t understand what I am supposed to do. I just guess and write
down something so I don’t leave anything blank. I make some effort to collaborate with others, but
get easily distracted and off task. I rarely take advantage of retake opportunities.
1
I put very little effort into listening in class and often choose to focus my attention elsewhere. I put
very little effort into solving problems or completing tasks. I skip difficult problems and either leave
them blank or copy down someone else’s work. I do not work with others in my group. I do not
follow directions. I do not take advantage of retake opportunities.

I put no effort into my work. I do not even complete assignments.

No one is born able to do everything. Everyone has the ability to learn our curriculum and to
make growth in science skills and abilities. Your success in math has nothing to do with
luck. It has everything to do with how much EFFORT you put into learning the content!
Here is a rubric for you to use to self-assess how much EFFORT you are putting into daily class
discussions and work.

I respectfully listen to the information that my teacher presents during class. I volunteer to answer
questions and participate in discussions. I work on each task that I am given until I am finished. I
push myself to continue working even when a problem is challenging or difficult to understand. I
view difficult questions as an opportunity to improve. I do not rush through assignments for the sake
of finishing them, but I think about each of the questions I am answering or tasks that I am
completing to make sure that what I turn in is my BEST work. I follow directions the first time
given. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage of any
retake opportunities.

I listen in class and complete the assignments that are given. I push myself when problems are
difficult or challenging to complete. I check over my work before I turn it in to make sure I have
done my best. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage
of any retake opportunities.
2
I put some effort into listening during class, but often choose to think about other things while my
teacher is talking. I put some effort into solving the problems or completing tasks, but I stop when a
problem becomes difficult, or I don’t understand what I am supposed to do. I just guess and write
down something so I don’t leave anything blank. I make some effort to collaborate with others, but
get easily distracted and off task. I rarely take advantage of retake opportunities.
1
I put very little effort into listening in class and often choose to focus my attention elsewhere. I put
very little effort into solving problems or completing tasks. I skip difficult problems and either leave
them blank or copy down someone else’s work. I do not work with others in my group. I do not
follow directions. I do not take advantage of retake opportunities.
0
I put no effort into my work. I do not even complete assignments.
My EFFORT Goal for this quarter:
• Last quarter my effort score was ________.
• This quarter, I hope to improve my effort score to _________.

I put some effort into listening during class, but often choose to think about other things while my
teacher is talking. I put some effort into solving the problems or completing tasks, but I stop when a
problem becomes difficult, or I don’t understand what I am supposed to do. I just guess and write
down something so I don’t leave anything blank. I make some effort to collaborate with others, but
get easily distracted and off task. I rarely take advantage of retake opportunities.

I put very little effort into listening in class and often choose to focus my attention elsewhere. I put

I respectfully listen to the information that my teacher presents during class. I volunteer to answer
questions and participate in discussions. I work on each task that I am given until I am finished. I
push myself to continue working even when a problem is challenging or difficult to understand. I
view difficult questions as an opportunity to improve. I do not rush through assignments for the sake
of finishing them, but I think about each of the questions I am answering or tasks that I am
completing to make sure that what I turn in is my BEST work. I follow directions the first time
given. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage of any
retake opportunities.

I respectfully listen to the information that my teacher presents during class. I volunteer to answer
questions and participate in discussions. I work on each task that I am given until I am finished. I
push myself to continue working even when a problem is challenging or difficult to understand. I
view difficult questions as an opportunity to improve. I do not rush through assignments for the sake
of finishing them, but I think about each of the questions I am answering or tasks that I am
completing to make sure that what I turn in is my BEST work. I follow directions the first time
given. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage of any
retake opportunities.

I listen in class and complete the assignments that are given. I push myself when problems are
difficult or challenging to complete. I check over my work before I turn it in to make sure I have
done my best. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage
of any retake opportunities.

I put some effort into listening during class, but often choose to think about other things while my
teacher is talking. I put some effort into solving the problems or completing tasks, but I stop when a
problem becomes difficult, or I don’t understand what I am supposed to do. I just guess and write
down something so I don’t leave anything blank. I make some effort to collaborate with others, but
get easily distracted and off task. I rarely take advantage of retake opportunities.
1
I put very little effort into listening in class and often choose to focus my attention elsewhere. I put
very little effort into solving problems or completing tasks. I skip difficult problems and either leave
them blank or copy down someone else’s work. I do not work with others in my group. I do not
follow directions. I do not take advantage of retake opportunities.

I put no effort into my work. I do not even complete assignments.
My EFFORT Goal for this quarter:
• Last quarter my effort score was ________.
• This quarter, I hope to improve my effort score to _________.

No one is born able to do everything. Everyone has the ability to learn our curriculum and to
make growth in science skills and abilities. Your success in math has nothing to do with
luck. It has everything to do with how much EFFORT you put into learning the content!
Here is a rubric for you to use to self-assess how much EFFORT you are putting into daily class
discussions and work.

I respectfully listen to the information that my teacher presents during class. I volunteer to answer
questions and participate in discussions. I work on each task that I am given until I am finished. I
push myself to continue working even when a problem is challenging or difficult to understand. I
view difficult questions as an opportunity to improve. I do not rush through assignments for the sake
of finishing them, but I think about each of the questions I am answering or tasks that I am
completing to make sure that what I turn in is my BEST work. I follow directions the first time
given. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage of any
retake opportunities.

I listen in class and complete the assignments that are given. I push myself when problems are
difficult or challenging to complete. I check over my work before I turn it in to make sure I have
done my best. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage
of any retake opportunities.

I put some effort into listening during class, but often choose to think about other things while my
teacher is talking. I put some effort into solving the problems or completing tasks, but I stop when a
problem becomes difficult, or I don’t understand what I am supposed to do. I just guess and write
down something so I don’t leave anything blank. I make some effort to collaborate with others, but
get easily distracted and off task. I rarely take advantage of retake opportunities.
1
I put very little effort into listening in class and often choose to focus my attention elsewhere. I put
very little effort into solving problems or completing tasks. I skip difficult problems and either leave
them blank or copy down someone else’s work. I do not work with others in my group. I do not
follow directions. I do not take advantage of retake opportunities.

I put no effort into my work. I do not even complete assignments.
My EFFORT Goal for this quarter:
• Last quarter my effort score was ________.
• This quarter, I hope to improve my effort score to _________.

No one is born able to do everything. Everyone has the ability to learn our curriculum and to
make growth in science skills and abilities. Your success in math has nothing to do with
luck. It has everything to do with how much EFFORT you put into learning the content!
Here is a rubric for you to use to self-assess how much EFFORT you are putting into daily class
discussions and work.

I respectfully listen to the information that my teacher presents during class. I volunteer to answer
questions and participate in discussions. I work on each task that I am given until I am finished. I
push myself to continue working even when a problem is challenging or difficult to understand. I
view difficult questions as an opportunity to improve. I do not rush through assignments for the sake
of finishing them, but I think about each of the questions I am answering or tasks that I am
completing to make sure that what I turn in is my BEST work. I follow directions the first time
given. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage of any
retake opportunities.

I listen in class and complete the assignments that are given. I push myself when problems are
difficult or challenging to complete. I check over my work before I turn it in to make sure I have
done my best. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage
of any retake opportunities.

I put some effort into listening during class, but often choose to think about other things while my
teacher is talking. I put some effort into solving the problems or completing tasks, but I stop when a
problem becomes difficult, or I don’t understand what I am supposed to do. I just guess and write
down something so I don’t leave anything blank. I make some effort to collaborate with others, but
get easily distracted and off task. I rarely take advantage of retake opportunities.
1
I put very little effort into listening in class and often choose to focus my attention elsewhere. I put
very little effort into solving problems or completing tasks. I skip difficult problems and either leave
them blank or copy down someone else’s work. I do not work with others in my group. I do not
follow directions. I do not take advantage of retake opportunities.

I put no effort into my work. I do not even complete assignments.

I respectfully listen to the information that my teacher presents during class. I volunteer to answer
questions and participate in discussions. I work on each task that I am given until I am finished. I
push myself to continue working even when a problem is challenging or difficult to understand. I
view difficult questions as an opportunity to improve. I do not rush through assignments for the sake
of finishing them, but I think about each of the questions I am answering or tasks that I am
completing to make sure that what I turn in is my BEST work. I follow directions the first time
given. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage of any
retake opportunities.

I listen in class and complete the assignments that are given. I push myself when problems are

of any retake opportunities.

I put some effort into listening during class, but often choose to think about other things while my
teacher is talking. I put some effort into solving the problems or completing tasks, but I stop when a
problem becomes difficult, or I don’t understand what I am supposed to do. I just guess and write
down something so I don’t leave anything blank. I make some effort to collaborate with others, but
get easily distracted and off task. I rarely take advantage of retake opportunities.

of finishing them, but I think about each of the questions I am answering or tasks that I am
completing to make sure that what I turn in is my BEST work. I follow directions the first time
given. I make an effort to collaborate with my classmates to complete labs. I take advantage of any
retake opportunities.

I put some effort into listening during class, but often choose to think about other things while my
teacher is talking. I put some effort into solving the problems or completing tasks, but I stop when a
problem becomes difficult, or I don’t understand what I am supposed to do. I just guess and write
down something so I don’t leave anything blank. I make some effort to collaborate with others, but
get easily distracted and off task. I rarely take advantage of retake opportunities.
