Foundation- Rubrics

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

A good rubric breaks down and lays out all the different components assessed and the elements needed to achieve each level. By providing the rubric to the students, students are able to create a piece of work and check with the rubric to see which level they fall and how they could ‘bump it up’. It gives the teachers and students diagnostic information as well as formative feedback for the students. It gives students the control of their own learning and achievements

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

As a student I have found rubrics very helpful in creating a work that is of the highest level. I find the rubrics that clearly descries all the aspects needed in an assignment help me understand what is expected of me and I guide my work accordingly. I also continuously revisited the rubrics to evaluate my work and improve.

I feel by giving my students rubrics it will do the same. It is important to make rubrics that is descriptive ad break downs each categories. For students to truly benefit the rubrics should include the gradual increase that is well defined through the levels.
