You never know when someone Might catch a dream from you You never know when a little word Or something that you might do May open up a window Of a mind that seeks the light
The way you teach May not matter at all But you never know, It might.
And just in case it could be That another lifes through you Might change for the better With a broader, brighter view. It seems it might be worth a try To do what you know is right
The way you teach May not matter at all But you never know, It might.
How often have you attempted to grade your students work only to find that the assessment criteria were vague and the performance behavior was overly subjective? Would you able to justify the assessment or grade if you had to defend it?
What is a Rubric
Minds on 2
A rubric is
- A printed set of scoring guidelines (criteria) for evaluating work (a performance or a product) and for giving feedback. - A formative type of assessment because it becomes an ongoing part of the whole teaching and learning process.
- An authentic assessment too which is being increasingly used since it is particular useful in assessing criteria which are complex and subjective - A working guide for students and teachers, usually handed out before the assignment begins in order to get students to think about the criteria on which their work will be judged
Six-Fold reasons:
1. Focus instruction-intentionally. 2. Guide feedback-descriptively. 3. Characterized desired results-objectively. 4. Operationalized performance standards purposefully. 5. Develop self-assessment competenceconstantly. 6. Involve students-thoughtfully.
