************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** From: Steve <uriel1998@xxxxxxxxx> Newsgroups: misc.education.home-school.misc Subject: Resource: Rubics Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2003 21:03:14 -0500 Norma passes along this site: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.shtml Pick a rubric, any rubric--or make your own. Busy teachers will find examples and templates of these valuable assessment tools in a variety of subjects, as well as a tutorial that walks you through the process of creating a rubric. See how your peers use rubrics in their own project-based learning activities. WHAT IS A RUBRIC? Heidi Goodrich, a rubrics expert, defines a rubric as "a scoring tool that lists the criteria for a piece of work or 'what counts.'" So a rubric for a multimedia project will list the things the student must have included to receive a certain score or rating. Rubrics help the student figure out how their project will be evaluated. Goodrich quotes a student who said he didn't much care for rubrics because "if you get something wrong, your teacher can prove you knew what you were supposed to do."
