Products for Students and Youth
Curriculum and Program Design
Engaging, enriching, aligned in- or out of- school time program design is firmly in the Sundial wheelhouse. Our subject matter experts are experienced educators - with decades of design and teaching experience in public, charter and private schools, summer programming, and not for profit organizations- who will fuel the efficacy of differentiated, effective program development.
Performance Assessment and Design
Through the process of developing the different components of a performance assessment (eg. curriculum planning documents, rubrics, and student and teacher directions) and ensuring that the assessment has evidence of aligned standards, an authentic audience, clear directions, text complexity, effective format, and clear expectations, we create assessments and can guide your staff to create them as well.
Rubric System Design and Alignment
We can create for your team or support your staff in designing clear criteria and expectations for proficient student performance on a performance assessment, and then building a rubric that provides a consistent and fair evaluation of student work. Rubrics are critical tools for communicating to students what is expected in terms of the quality of their work and how it will be evaluated.
Capstone and Portfolio Design
We support the design of systems that offer students the opportunity to apply their learning at culminating moments. Capstone projects typically include a product, presentation, and reflection in which students express their learning through their own passions and interests. Portfolios guide students to analyze and synthesize their learning as they present a curated collection of artifacts, demonstrating achievement of required knowledge and skills.
