Formative Assessment Rubrics

What are formative assessment rubrics?

Unlike grades which are final evaluation indicators, formative assessment rubrics are tools which enable learners to put revision and improvement front and center. Rubrics which are written in student-friendly language activate learner agency. They give learners the opportunity to reflect on their own, as well as have rich, deep discussions about strengths and areas of growth with peers and adults. Formative assessment rubrics can be used for academic content as well as social emotional learning and classroom culture-building.
