Rubrics
How do you involve the students in creating a rubrics?
Ronald,
The more clear the expectations and the criteria in the rubric, the more likely the students will be able to meet the learning outcomes. Thanks for your input.
I am excited about the idea of involving students in the implementation of rubrics! Just like you stated earlier I think that involving students will make them aware EXACTLY what the expectations/requirements are.
I also like the idea of creating a final rubric where we come together as a class and I can make modifications based on the criteria that they have come up with.
Roshawna,
I typically give students rubrics for a few "little" assignments before they do them and then I grade and discuss. Then, they have experience with rubrics and when we come to the "big" project, I ask them to create a rubric (can be in groups) based on the assignment instructions. We then go through the rubrics together, come to a consensus and develop a rubric based on their feedback. They then totally understand what is expected of them. It works.
