Rubrics: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Facilitator(s): Debra Smith, Alice Holt, Denise Heffernan-Stearns

Workshop   +   Classroom Practice: assessment   +   Everyone
Rubrics are scoring guides for assessing student work. As is the case with any tool, they can be used well or badly. The most effective scoring guides provide clear criteria and standards for success. They also provide a common language for discussion with students along the way and for assessment of their completed work. This workshop, developed by the Southern Maine Partnership, includes an introduction to different kinds of scoring guides commonly used by educators. We will also present strategies for examining the guides' technical quality, reliability, and purpose. Participants will learn how to build and use rubrics with students, and draft a scoring guide to take back to their own classrooms.
Date/Time: Friday, 10:30am - 12:30pm   Room: CC 609   Session #262
