Weekly Writing #8
In order to teach efficiently we must be able to evaluate if learning has occurred. Many teachers provide students with quizzes, ticket-outs, homework, etc. However how are we really sure that they are not just memorizing the information and then forgetting it later. This is where can assign assignments that are particular to the subject area in which we are teaching, but before we can assign these assignments we should create effective rubrics for the each corresponding assignments. It is important that we design the rubrics that outline that helps the students dig into the information and really understand it.
Now only do rubrics help the students when they are doing classwork, but it helps the teacher stay consistent throughout the school year. Installing rubrics into the classroom can really help the student see what the teacher expects from you and outlines what the student needs to know in order to complete the assignment correctly. Rubrics are a useful way to ensure that assignments are consistent with course objectives and state standards. Which is really a helpful way for the teacher to make sure that they are getting differentiated learning throughout the course and reaching the PA academic standards.
Rubrics allows for a greater accountability and reliability in grading and offers a structure and guidance to students as they create their projects. Working with this tool enables teachers to quickly grade assignments and remain objective in their grading. Consistency allows higher standards to be set and works the students to achieving those standards. By following the rubric guidelines, higher rates of success will happen on not only the teachers part but the students as well.
Overall rubrics are a great way to measure the level of comprehending and understanding of learning of students. It is important for us as educators to implement this in our classroom. Assessments are a great tool and important in the school setting.
