Christina, I use a weekly rubric for classroom attendance, participation, and professionalism. The rubric correlates to traits the student should acquire or hone prior to going out into the work environment. The nice part is that many of the traits are good traits to have in their personal life as well. The five main categories or traits are: Punctuality, Effort (engagement), Attitude (postive character traits), Readiness (preparedness), and Listening Skills; put it all together and you have a PEARL.
