  • Rubrics can be designed to measure either product or process or both; and, they can be designed with dimensions describing the different levels of that “deep learning” so valued in WAC programs.
  • Kenneth Volger, in his study, “The Impact of High-Stakes, State-Mandated Student Performance Assessment on Teacher’s Instructional Practices
  • The issue of weighting may be another area in which you can enlist the help of students. At the beginning of the process, you could ask a student to select to select which aspect she values the most in her writing and weight that aspect when you assess her paper.

  • Steps in developing a scoring rubric
  • Each score category should be defined using description of the work rather than judgments about the work.
  • “Does the assessment help students become the kinds of [citizens] we want them to be?”

    Why can't the rubric address both the mechanics of a well written piece and the creative process? What would be wrong with adding the free writing activity which leads to the creative, coherent and well written piece?

    In addition to having the student weight the aspect she values the most, how about having her choose the aspect of writing that she is struggling with the most and self assess that piece?

    If we adopt student developed rubrics are these the steps they would go through too? If so this is a higher order thinking activity about the subject.

    This reminds me of last Monday when we were kicking off new AIW (Authentic Intellectual Work) teams. We went through an exercise to determine the difference between evaluative and descriptive. It isn't easy to stay in the descriptive mode.

      The Clear Purpose paragraph resonated with me since I just finished reading an article in Education Leadership called Know Your Target. It is all about knowing the purpose and sharing that with students and how student achievement goes up as a result.

      One of the "What Works in the Classroom" strategies from Marzano is: Setting objectives and providing feedback. Research shows that giving feedback improves student achievement. This statement about results being communicated in time to inform the intended decisions reminds me of the Marzano work.

      Did you read Evan's blog about gaming? I was interested in his perspective to making it synonomus with using literature to teach content.
