Use these targets, vocabulary, rubrics, examples, and score sheet with the instructor's approved lesson and procedure. This is an assessment companion, not a complete lesson or safety authorization.
Fictional or de-identified data fully satisfies this task. Students' own sleep, stress, mood, or health records are never collected or graded; using the supplied record has no grade penalty or token charge.
Student lessons, data, and public practice answers (not assessment keys): Unit 06 learning pathway.
The student demonstrates the following:
Five science criteria plus separately reported integration (Page 3).
Analyze the supplied fictional record; no personal disclosure required.
The student reasons non-clinically from the supplied fictional record (Page 4).
Sleep notes, stress notes, and reflections kept distinct.
Accept listed synonyms; use the distinction column to resolve near-matches.
| Term | Accepted explanation | Distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Stress response | Body response to a demand | Not automatically a disorder. |
| Sleep quality | How refreshing and uninterrupted sleep is | Not only hours. |
| Non-clinical interpretation | Pattern reasoning without diagnosis | Seek qualified help for personal concerns. |
| Opt-out alternative | Equivalent supplied-data task | No private disclosure required. |
The split between Proficient and Mastery is data, not a verdict: a rough week is information, not a judgment. Ask “what does the pattern suggest, and what can it not show?” — kindly.
| Criterion | Developing | Proficient | Mastery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Understanding the stress response | Cannot describe what happens in the body during stress, or treats stress as simply a personal weakness. | Names the stress response but cannot explain the biology behind it. | Explains the stress response as a normal biological reaction — the body releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol to meet a demand — neutrally, without judgment. |
| The role of sleep | Thinks sleep is wasted time and cannot say why the body needs it. | Knows sleep matters but cannot connect it to how the body and mind recover. | Explains why sleep is essential — how it lets the body and brain rest, recover, and help regulate mood and stress. |
| Healthy coping & seeking help | Cannot name a healthy way to cope, or does not know who to turn to when things feel like too much. | Lists a coping strategy or two but is unsure when or how to ask for help. | Describes healthy coping strategies and explains when and how to reach a trusted adult, school counselor, healthcare provider, or local emergency services, using non-clinical language. |
| Interpreting sleep & stress data | Cannot identify a pattern in the supplied record. | Identifies a pattern but overstates its meaning. | Interprets fictional or de-identified sleep/stress records, separating association from cause and avoiding diagnosis. |
| Anchor lab (stress & sleep data investigation) | Records no evidence from the approved task. | Records values but cannot explain the analysis. | Documents and analyzes the approved dataset honestly; a fictional or de-identified record fully satisfies the task without personal disclosure. |
| Integration (cross-domain) | Makes no supported connection between the source and the science. | Uses the source but needs help connecting evidence, writing, or limitations to the science. | Independently connects History, Reading, and Writing using a cited source, appropriate evidence, a limitation, and a scientific explanation. |
Read these before you grade. They show what Mastery and Developing actually sound like, plus the edge cases where you should coach rather than decide on the spot.
You are making a decision, not adding up points. For each criterion, decide whether the work is Developing, Proficient, or Mastery — the column language tells you which. A criterion counts as mastered only when the student can both read the supplied data and explain the science behind it kindly and clearly. Each student has three tokens per term; each token retries one rubric criterion. Approved accommodations, equipment failures, and approved absences are handled separately and do not consume these tokens. This unit will never label or grade how a student feels — if they are struggling, that is not a failing; encourage them to reach out to a trusted adult or professional who can help.
Evidence record: Level ____ Case/data ____ Criterion ____ Source/date ____ First attempt ____ Calculation/limits ____ Transfer ____ Educator review ____. Supplied records, source evaluation, and any approved practical are separate; no private health disclosure is required.
