Communication

Using technology for learning

 

Limited Evidence Emerging Developing  Accelerating Proficient
I sometimes use technology to communicate with others but don’t understand how it can make communication better. With help, I can use technology to share what I am learning or to give key messages. 

Technology helps me reach new or different audiences.

 I am starting to use technology independently to communicate efficiently. 

I can create high-quality products with clear messages. 

I can adapt my presentations for different audiences.

 I can use technology independently and describe how technology improves my communication and helps me learn. 

Technology helps me communicate in memorable ways and encourages others to act.

 I easily use a range of technologies to work well, make good products, and communicate with others confidently.

I can explain how technology helps me communicate and how it makes others want to act.

I am not sure that how I communicate shows who I am. I am starting to understand that I am unique. My culture and background shape how I communicate. 

I am starting to see how other people’s backgrounds shape how they communicate. 

 I try to use my own voice, shaped by my culture, background, and interests. 

I am starting to use the voices and identities of others when I communicate.

 I can use my personal voice to express myself honestly and communicate to make a difference. 

I consider and try to include the voices and identities of those who may not be heard.

 I use my personal voice to express my true self and create positive change. 

I stand up for those whose voices may not be heard.

Reflection to further develop and improve communication

 

Limited Evidence Emerging Developing  Accelerating Proficient
I don’t think about whether my audience can understand me.

I think about the suggestions I get but don’t ask others for feedback.

 I am beginning to understand that clear communication helps me work better with others. 

With some help, I am beginning to think about how to make my communication better.

I listen to feedback when it is given and use checklists and guides to help me reflect.

 I am starting to check, manage, and improve how I communicate during each task.

I’m starting to ask for feedback and I can see that this helps improve my communication.

 I often ask for feedback. 

I also think about my work on my own to get better. 

I use different viewpoints to make changes and improve, even if it means making big changes to my original work.

 I pay attention to how I communicate and change it when needed.

I always see feedback as a chance to improve my communication.

I think about my own ideas and feelings that might get in the way of talking well to others. 

I try to talk to all kinds of people in a way they understand.

Message has a purpose and makes an impact

 

Limited Evidence Emerging Developing  Accelerating Proficient
How I communicate does not always make sense to others. I am starting to think about who needs to understand my message. 

I need some help to make sure I’m communicating clearly.

With help, I’m learning different ways to explain my point of view.

 I understand that how I communicate will depend on the audience. 

I know some good ways to talk to certain audiences so they understand my point of view.

My message may not be clear or encourage others to take action.

 The way I communicate is suitable for the audience.

I know that people understand messages differently based on their own life experiences.

My message is clear but doesn’t encourage others to take action.

 I can make my audience feel excited and interested in what I’m saying so they really care about my message.

I use what I know and my gut feelings to help my audience think about new ideas that go beyond what they already know or believe.

I can create messages that stick in people’s minds and make them want to act.

Communication designed for audience and impact

Limited Evidence Emerging Developing  Accelerating Proficient
It is hard for me to explain clearly when talking or writing. 

I need the teacher to give me examples to help me learn.

 I am starting to understand different ways to communicate. 

I need help to share my thoughts in a way others can understand.

 I can share my thoughts clearly with others. 

I choose how to share my message. 

I can connect ideas together in different ways.

 I understand the different types of communication are used for different purposes and audiences.

I can use different tools to express myself clearly. 

My communication makes sense to others.

 I can share my ideas in different ways depending on the situation and I can explain why I chose that way.

My communication is clear and helps others understand what I am trying to say.
