Interpersonal Communication Assessment
Happy Friday!
Continuing to...roll...with last email's theme about using dice in the classroom, I want to share a summative assessment: a skill practice demonstration focused on refusal skills.
I know many other health educators use dice in a similar way: Jessica Matheson, Andy Milne, and more. I can't take credit for the initial idea. I can share with you how I've taken that idea, remixed it, and aligned it with the National Health Education Standard for interpersonal communication.
For context, by the time we reach this assessment, students have already learned about the effects alcohol and marijuana have on the developing teenage brain. I use resources from Ask, Listen, Learn and the Stanford Cannabis/Marijuana Awareness & Prevention Toolkit to help deliver content in this unit.
My students have already practiced refusal skills: writing them out and performing quick demonstrations, infusing functional content knowledge into them, and finally, demonstrating them as a summative assessment. Most of the skill practices throughout the unit are ungraded, but one is. These all lead to the graded summative assessment.
Students prepare multiple refusal skills to refuse both alcohol and marijuana and when it's time to go "live," they roll the dice! I have large dice similar to these and have the three refusal skills on them twice. The students have to demonstrate the refusal skill they roll.
I haven't updated this assessment to meet the new National Health Education Standards yet. We also have our new standards in Massachusetts that just launched this year, so if you check this Google Doc again next school year, you'll see it will look a little different. It's not the prettiest document, either, but it works!
Click the big blue button to access the Google Doc! It's view only, so make a copy for yourself if you'd like to remix it to fit whichever objective you're using in health class. I'd force it to make a copy, but then you won't see any changes when it gets updated with the new standards. Some school districts have blocked links from Converkit, so if it doesn't work, just reply to this email or try from home.

π¨Free Course for Administrators!π¨
I created a free, short course designed for supervisors who don't have health education backgrounds or experience: administrators or athletic directors! It's five emails that take under five minutes to read. If your evaluator wants to give you better professional development but doesn't know where to start, this course will be perfect for them. Send them the signup page and share the link on the big orange button with them.
Please let me know if you have any questions you want me to answer in the newsletter. Coming your way in the next few weeks: a new way to look at advocacy and a visual formative assessment that you can use for any skill.
Thanks for reading!
