Rubrics
Rubrics are a great why to communicate with your students. It gives the student an insight of what went right and wrong. Rubrics are also very helpful to teachers when it comes grading. It gives the teacher evidence on why a student received a certain grade. Also, if the rubric is given to the students before a writing assignment then, your students know what your looking for. Rubrics are sometime looked as a closed door. Some teachers, as the one in the second video, feel rubrics are not accountable. The rubrics constrain us from creativity. Though I believe rubrics are a great way to communicate with are students, they may not work in every situation.

Paola,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely that in some situations rubrics cannot work! One of my facorite things about rubrics is the fact that the student knows what is being looked for! Great post!
I agree with your analysis on rubrics. They are a great way to communicate to students, and they do help the students understand what their teacher is looking for.
ReplyDeleteI, too, completely agree with your view on rubrics. They are a better method to grading than just a number. If more teachers use them I think school will e a different world for children. It is way good communication from teacher to student of what is expected. Love them! Nice post.
