There are several examples of different assessment forms on the following pages, including checklists, rating scales, and anecdotal recordkeeping forms. Teachers will need to adjust or redesign these forms for their specific purposes. Please note the following:

• A Learning Contract is an agreement between a student and a teacher regarding what will be done, who will do it, how it will be completed, and how it will be evaluated. This form may easily be adapted for use with groups of students.
• The Sample Checklist or Rating Scale for Evaluating Creative Processes contains a list of possible criteria that teachers may select from or add to when observing students' creative processes in dance. This form may be used as a checklist or a rating scale for either a few students or one student over an extended time period.
• The Anecdotal Recordkeeping Form is designed to follow the progress of one student over the course of several lessons.
• The Self-evaluation Form is designed to encourage student reflection.
• The Teacher and Student Negotiation Form is designed as an example of how teachers and students may work together to arrive at a mutually satisfactory rating or grade for a creative problem-solving process.
• The Self-evaluation Form for Group Work is designed for one student's self-evaluation of a group project or experience. Such self-evaluation forms can also be adapted for groups of students to evaluate group experiences. Teachers and students together can design their own appropriate forms.
• The Sample Checklist for Evaluating Students' Responses To Arts Expressions contains a list of possible criteria that teachers may select from or add to when observing students' responses to dance expressions.
• The Rating Scale for Evaluating an Essay is designed as a sample of criteria that should be observed in a well-written essay.
