Evidence #3: "Rubrics when well written and used effectively can guide learners to work towards high standards. (Week 4 Lecture Notes)" I created this Prezi as an analysis of the role of checklists, rubrics, and portfolios in the assessment process. I was able to list the benefits and cautionary warnings about each so that they are used most effectively in the classroom.
This piece of evidence shows that I have learned the following about assessment of learning:
Each assessment tool needs to be aligned with the goal of the lesson. Assessment tools should not be looked at as a "choose your adventure" but rather with precision and careful planning. The language needs to be clear, especially in the case of checklists. In terms of portfolios, there are different types that educators need to be aware of before beginning the process. Understand the difference between Time- sequence (how a learner develops skills over ___ amount ot time) and status report (students choosing their best work).
Rubrics
Rubrics
The following are examples of rubrics. have carefully created and used in my high school English classroom over the last three years. The first one is an example of a rubric I use often for my Personal Narrative essay assignments. The second more closely resembles a standards-referenced system style rubric, created for each subject and grade level by the district (Marzano, 2009, p. 112). This is the rubric the English department uses at my school to grade Baseline Essays. What is unique about our baseline essay assignment is, that answering the essential question as a writing prompt, is considered a "rough draft" of students' Final Exam essay. For finals, students are given their Baseline essays back, and they continue to add to them based on what they have learned throughout the school year and regraded against this same rubric.
