These

interactive assessments aim to measure students knowledge gain, attitude

change, and behavioral shift after completing units within our Digital Literacy and
Citizenship Curriculum. The assessments interactive questions are a mix of multiple-
choice, fill-in-the-blank, drag-and-drop, and short answer.

GRADES K-5: Each assessment has fifteen questions; three per lesson.
GRADES 6-12: Each assessment has twenty questions; four per lesson.

Step 1:
Teach all five lessons in a given unit (see the Scope & Sequence:
www.commonsense.org/educators/scope-and-sequence).


Step 2:
Send students individually to
www.commonsense.org/educators/unit_assessments.
Ask them to find their applicable grade band and then click on
the aligned unit to launch the assessment.


Step 3:
Instruct students to:
Read the directions on the welcome screen.
Enter their name (this name will appear on the end printable certificate).
Enter their teachers email in order to send assessment results (optional).

Step 4:
Students should take these assessments independently. Feel free to read questions and
answer choices as needed. If students SUBMIT an incorrect answer, they will be prompted
with constructive feedback to TRY AGAIN. If they submit an incorrect answer a second time,
they will be given an opportunity to see the correct answer by clicking SHOW ANSWER
before proceeding on to the NEXT question.
*Note: the final results only report a students first answers.

Step 5:
At the end of each assessment, students receive a percentage score on a printable certificate.
The percentage score is an aggregate number based on first answer attempts. Students then
can VIEW RESULTS to see a table outlining their answers in comparison to the correct
answers. The short answer responses are documented in these tables and are not counted
as part of the overall percentage score. Students can PRINT RESULTS or EMAIL RESULTS
to their teacher if they entered a teachers email address on the initial welcome screen. They
also can RETAKE ASSESSMENT (which clears their previous assessment score).
