Can you PM me more information about this that I may be able to share with my supervisor?

I'm curious, for teams that are getting credit for all their after school work -- do you have benchmarks? How do you keep track and grade "work" and do you have "midterms" and "finals"? Basically, what would you be able to show a curriculum coordinator that outlines the student's competence on the team? Mind you, I'm not well versed in everything that goes into actually creating curriculum, I'm just using what I've observed from high school.
