I love. What di you use for the drawing.

I like it, quietly loud;)

I began public school with the first, but by middle-school, the agenda left me feeling uninspired, bored to death and ready to quit. I became ritually compliant. My biggest disappointment...? Almost zero science in my k-8 years and the lab didn't have beakers, test tubes or even baking soda. Science books had experiments we were supposed to conduct. Sometimes we read from the book. More often than not, it was a free hour or we talked to each other while the teacher went a.w.o.l. Recently, a google plusser told me to be thankful for the nation that nurtured and educated me. I told him, he assumed a lot.
BTW - I grew up thinking my people were too bad or too stupid to learn and that science fairs were for white kids on tv. That was in the 70's in Detroit. Hahaha. I take nothing for granted - not anything related to "the Dream." I now have a masters degree - useless in the humanities. I happened to be a bookworm, a logophile and a misanthropic humanitarian. I now know that teachers across the nation face an uphill climb in an America that celebrates technology, while entrenched in anti-intellectualism - evven in our nations capital. Nineteenth century illuminati might be shocked to find the state of our nations educational paradigms. It is not the fault of teachers. It's our culture. Our nation's heroes are not writers, but pop singers, expert but shakers and designer bag makers. My generation, the last of the baby-boomers, raised on tv, absorbed all that was bad about the 1960's and now we are a nation of vapid celerity wanna-bees. Our parents, the original boomers fell for epicureanism (consumerism) and this is our legacy. I have no idea what teachers wil need to do to make enlightenment an appealing notion to someone that wants to be like Beyonce' Knowles or Lady Gag me.

This is a useful mapping of some of the characteristics that we may see in a students work. I think it is useful as a discussion starter but shouldn't be used to measure or judge students. For example a student may be at the 'no attention /no commitment' level but this could be because the activity they are doing is actually poorly designed and doesn't match their needs and their teacher is not very likable.
I think it could be useful to work from right to left. See a student who is retreating and thus ask questions about why such low commitment and why no attention.
