Week 6 Rubric assessment

Consider both stances--teacher and learner-- as you respond to the following:

• How can an effective assessment rubric support learners of all abilities and improve both student achievement and well-being?

The word rubric comes from the Latin word for red. meaning as "a guide listing specific criteria for grading or scoring academic papers, projects, or tests." In the Middle Ages, the rules for the conduct of liturgical services—as opposed to the actual spoken words of the liturgy—were often printed in red, so the rules were "the red things" on the page.

An effective rubric has key evaluating criteria and descriptors for what success looks like, It's a tool that teacher can collect student's learning evidence that the expectation is being met. so students understand what needs looks like to be successful. It has an evaluative range for each criterion so students can see where they succeeded for each section.It's setting a clear learning goal and direction for students to achieve and understand what teacher wants students to achieve for a specific task and what's the criteria, action and end task looks like.

• How will your own experiences as a learner shape your rubric design for your future students?

Prior to designing a specific rubric, a teacher must decide whether the performance or product will be scored holistically or analytically (Airasian, 2000 & 2001)

step 1: exam learning objectives to be addressed by the task

step 2: Identify specific observable attributes that you want to see and you don't want to see in your students demonstrate in their product, process, or performance.

Step 3: Brainstorm characteristics that describe each attribute.

Step 4: Write thorough narrative descriptions for excellent work and poor work

Step 5: describing other levels on the continuum that ranges from excellent to poor work for the collective attributes.

Step 6: Collect samples of student work that exemplify each level.

Step 7: Revise the rubric, as necessary
