When students receive rubrics beforehand, they understand how they will be evaluated which will lead them to assess their works-in-progress and guide revision As an assessment tool, they provide students with informative feedback about their strengths and areas in need of improvement. The advantages to the teacher are that rubrics help clarify assignment expectations, reduce repetitive questions from students, improve consistency in grading, decrease the time spent writing comments on student papers, and improve communication with tutors and parents. Tips for using in the classroom: * Give copies to the students at the beginning of the assignment. Discuss the expectations. * Have students assess their own progress by referring to the rubric. Allow students to revise their work. * Use the rubrics for peer-assessment. * Share the rubrics with parents. * Use the rubrics for grading. "

"The goal of this event is to encourage teachers from all subject areas to teach students basic concepts about copyright during Copyright Awareness Week. We hope that through this understanding, students will be more appreciative of the efforts of creative people and the protections the law affords them. Many people are avid users of copyrighted materials such as music, film, books, magazines, art and photographs, but they have little or no understanding about how these works are protected or why our forefathers felt copyright protections should be included in our constitution. We hope that you will enjoy learning about this important subject and that you will encourage other students, teachers and parents to engage in the study of copyright during Copyright Awareness Week. We are always looking for new ideas to share with other teachers and students. Please email us and let us know what your class studied during Copyright Awareness Week. You may contact us with this information or any questions you might have regarding Copyright Awareness Week at Contact the CSUSA Office.
