Sounds like you are fine classroom management and planning
wise, data can be culled and filed for your students with some
effort. I think someone already suggested you creating a
general form.

You may want to make it somewhat more pluralistic where the
students can also select areas they have strengths or
weaknesses the can work on or are proficient. I teach in TN
and all they stress is student involvement in assessments,
rubrics, and communication.

So make a template form with some art abilities typed out on a
form (use of scissors, drawing, so on). Leave a blank for each
students name. Have the students mark their abilities on this
form. Then also on this form have an area where you make
determinations and assessments about each student.

It may seem like a lot of qual. and quant. info to store but
our dear politicians have nothing else better to do then add
to our workload but it is the new future of our profession.
Too bad our politicians assign themselves more paperwork to do.

Don't you use pass/fail? S or U grades? There are hundreds of
rubrics out there on the internet. If you look long enough you
will have to create your own from the samples you collect.
