Proficient work explores problems effectively and proposes general solutions. Developing work asks basic questions and proposes limited solutions. Exemplary communication is engaging and creative, while Proficient uses appropriate language and Developing needs more thought. Exemplary collaboration shares tasks equally and listens to all views, Proficient shares tasks but not always equally and Developing needs help staying on task.
