  1. Creating and Using Rubrics Good for your students Good for you M. Williams P. Gluck Oct., 2006

  2. Discuss with colleagues • Share a time when what your students turned in for a project/assignment was not at all like how you envisioned it? OR • Share a time when you regretted a unique assignment/project when it came time to grade it?

  3. Team teaching directions • Sign up for the section you and your partner want to teach. Record the info. • At least one week before the teaching session, meet with your partner to decide what’s most important and what you can present in the 3 e/visual format. You want to teach the concepts while keeping the interest of the learners. This is not a speech to just show what you know. Seek help from me or others if needed. Each person must be prepared to teach solo if the partner doesn’t show. You may leave whatever materials you want to use with me to avoid being unprepared on that day. • 3 e/ visual format: a) explain the concepts b) give examples that illustrate your point- include at least one not in the text c) offer an exercise to allow learners to test if they understand the concept d) provide a visual for one or more of the components • At least 24 hours before the session, turn in a visual to me in person or electronically so I can make into an overhead. If you want to make copies for each student, you can ask me or do it yourself. • Use the rubric to be sure you are providing a quality, effective presentation.

  5. Rubrics for evaluation of projects • a way to define “excellence” very specifically • a tool to link standards with assessment • another way to explain directions and the relative importance of each step in the process • a fairer, quicker method of producing a concrete grade

  6. More on rubrics • provides objective behaviors to help evaluate • allows for more creative ways of learning • helps to objectify something which can be subjective • can vary from flexible to very specific point values for each behavior

  7. Using rubrics • Students can help create the rubric after discussion or seeing samples . This empowers them and they know and are more apt to meet the criteria • Always give ahead, with directions, to encourage checking off as completed • Be willing to change after every use to “perfect”
