A CURRICULUM EMPOWERING STUDENTS WITH TRANSFERABLE LIFELONG SKILLS
At Bader Hillel High, we emphasize the development of student’s cognitive skills. Cognitive skills — such as developing an argumentative claim, presenting a clear idea, and interpreting data — are essential for success in college and career. The Cognitive Skills Rubric is an assessment and instruction tool that outlines the continuum of 36 interdisciplinary, higher-order thinking skills that are necessary for college and career readiness. They are broken down into seven categories: Speaking & Listening; Writing/ Composing; Analysis & Synthesis, Inquiry, Using Sources, Textual Analysis, and Products & Presentations.
