Using Rubrics to Evaluate and Improve Student Performance
Time Frame: (3 hours)
How might we determine if students truly understand important ideas? How will we know that students can apply their knowledge in meaningful ways? How does assessing for understanding fit in a world of "high stakes" testing? In this session, we'll examine a framework for gathering evidence of student understanding using six "facets of understanding" and a variety of assessment methods. We'll also review a set of practical tools for use in the design of assessment tasks and scoring rubrics.
Topic Agenda
- role of criterion-based evaluation in standards-based education
- 3 types of criterion-based scoring tools - performance lists, holistic rubrics,
and analytic rubrics (advantages and limitations of each)
- using rubrics for evaluation and grading
- using rubrics for feedback and learning
- print and electronic resources for rubric designers
- wrap-up: synthesis and evaluation
