Day 5 Assessment Rubric¶
Micro:bit Part 2 and Code Club Introduction¶
Overall Assessment Framework¶
Formative Assessment (Throughout Day)¶
- Observation during Micro:bit Part 2 and Code Club activities
- Participation in project choice and session planning
- Involvement in mini Code Club (as facilitator or learner)
- Quality of action plan (next steps)
Summative Assessment (End of Day)¶
- Completed or attempted mini Code Club facilitation
- Written or verbal action plan with at least 2–3 next steps
- Workshop evaluation and reflection
- Optional: certificate of participation
Rubric 1: Micro:bit Part 2 (Extension)¶
| Component | Not Yet (1) | Developing (2) | Proficient (3) | Advanced (4) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variables in projects | Does not use variables | Uses one variable with help | Uses variables for score, state, or data | Uses variables effectively in a game or data project |
| Radio (if used) | Not attempted | Sends or receives with support | Sends and receives between two Micro:bits | Designs a simple two-device interaction (e.g. message, game) |
| One substantial project | No project completed | Partial project (e.g. half the steps) | One complete project (game, message, or data idea) | Completes and extends project (e.g. extra level, better feedback) |
| Debugging | Cannot find or fix errors | Finds errors with help | Fixes errors with minimal support | Helps others debug and explains approach |
Evidence: MakeCode project(s), demo or screenshot, facilitator observation.
Note: If radio or extra Micro:bits are not available, “Proficient” can be based on variables + one complete project only.
Rubric 2: Code Club Understanding¶
| Component | Not Yet (1) | Developing (2) | Proficient (3) | Advanced (4) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What Code Club is | Cannot describe | Describes vaguely | Describes aims, structure, and typical session | Explains how it fits DBE and differs from a lesson |
| Setting up a club | No idea | Names one requirement (e.g. venue) | Lists venue, time, equipment, and registration | Plans venue, time, roles, and first project with timeline |
| Choosing a project | Does not choose | Chooses with facilitator help | Chooses a suitable first project and states why | Compares options and chooses with extension idea |
| Session structure | No structure | Names welcome and project time | Plans welcome, project time, share, wrap-up | Plans with times and differentiation (fast finisher, stuck) |
Evidence: Discussion, session plan (written or verbal), use of first-code-club-session-template.
Rubric 3: Mini Code Club Facilitation¶
| Component | Not Yet (1) | Developing (2) | Proficient (3) | Advanced (4) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Welcome | No welcome or unclear | Brief welcome | Clear welcome with project name and outcome | Engaging welcome; sets expectations and tone |
| Project time | Does not facilitate | Stays at front or only helps when asked | Circulates and supports when learners are stuck | Supports without giving answers; encourages pairs |
| Share | No share time | Asks “who’s done?” | Gives 1–2 learners chance to show or explain | Celebrates variety and effort; links to learning |
| Wrap-up | No wrap-up | Says “time’s up” | Brief wrap-up and next step or challenge | Clear wrap-up; optional challenge; thanks learners |
| Reflection | Cannot say what to improve | Names one thing to improve | Names one strength and one improvement | Reflects and plans one change for real club |
Evidence: Peer and facilitator observation during mini Code Club; short reflection after.
Rubric 4: Action Planning and Next Steps¶
| Component | Not Yet (1) | Developing (2) | Proficient (3) | Advanced (4) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Next steps | No steps written | One vague step | 2–3 concrete steps (what, when, with whom) | 2–3 steps with timeline and one resource named |
| Curriculum/school link | No link | Mentions “use in class” | Links to subject/grade or Code Club at school | Plans lesson or club with subject, date, and resource |
| Resources | No resource identified | Names one resource | Names workshop materials or Code Club site | Lists specific project or template to use first |
| Support needed | Does not consider | Names one (e.g. principal) | Identifies who/what could help (school, peer, online) | Plans one follow-up (e.g. WhatsApp group, next workshop) |
Evidence: Action plan (integration template or list), optional sharing with partner/facilitator.
How to Use This Rubric¶
- Morning: Use Rubric 1 for Micro:bit Part 2; Rubric 2 for Code Club understanding and project choice.
- Afternoon: Use Rubric 3 for mini Code Club facilitation and reflection.
- End of day: Use Rubric 4 for action plan and overall readiness.
- Scale: 1 = Not yet, 2 = Developing, 3 = Proficient, 4 = Advanced. “Proficient” for Day 5: most criteria at 2–3; action plan with 2–3 steps; participated in mini Code Club (facilitator or learner).
- Certificates: Can be issued for workshop completion; use rubrics to give individual feedback where needed.
Notes for Facilitators¶
- Not everyone may run a Code Club; “next steps” can be “one Scratch lesson with my class” or “share Micro:bit with a colleague.” Honour all plans.
- Mini Code Club works best with small groups (e.g. 3–5 “learners” per facilitator); rotate so everyone who wants to can facilitate.
- Emphasise that the goal is to leave with a clear, doable plan—not to have done everything perfectly.
