I made this rubric to assess student engagement and participation during classroom discussions and lessons. It could be used for whole group discussions/lessons or small groups. There are 5 categories that are scored as a 3, 2, or 1 with different descriptions of each level within each category. You could use this rubric for parent-teacher conferences, to send home with report cards, for data on participation and engagement at different points in the year, or to show growth or lack of growth
