CCP: Episode 45 // How to Use Rubrics for Assessment AND Instruction
Assessment drives instruction.
As teachers, we’ve heard that over and over. Teachers need to make sure that the tools they are using to assess their students are effective in giving the teacher insight into student understanding.
You likely already use rubrics for assessment. And- when the rubrics are written in kid-friendly language, students, too can fully understand how they performed and where there are areas for improvement.
However, have you considered using rubrics as an INSTRUCTIONAL tool? It could be a game-changer in your classroom AND it could help set your students up for major success.
In this week’s episode, you’ll learn how rubrics not only help with assessing student performance, but when used as an instructional tool, rubrics can help set the stage for learning… and ultimately — success!
