Students learning in more creative ways demands a diverse array of rubrics. There is a rubric for everything as you can see . The rubrics of the 21st century have a few common elements; assesssing collaborative elements, aesthetics, imagery, and assessing the use of other resources (links, videos, other multimedia).
Teachers won't just be assessing rote learning. They will be assessing higher thinking skills. The rubrics available are excellent guides for assessing such skills.
Doug,
ReplyDeleteI love rubrics, I wish at times I had them before college. Rubrics outline what is expected of you so there is not confusion. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I was confused with what was expected because the directions are just spewed out at you or written out on a sheet of paper! Though at times creating your rubrics can be time consuming, they are a great help for your assessment of the students work as well as a guide to what is expected from the students work.
Doug,
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated to discover how many rubrics exist today. I was happy to see that there are rubrics designed for web 2.0 activities such as wikis and blogs. I think rubrics are one of the best ways for teacher's to evaluate their students. It avoids subjective grading and gives students a clear explanation of what is expected of them and why they received the grade that they did. -Kayleigh
