Rubrics



In Studio 214, we have been using a lot of rubrics and I just wanted to show you how they work. When a student turns in an assignment with a rubric, they score themselves first. This is a great way to reflect and see if they have completed everything they needed to complete on the assignment. I take their rubric and score the task also, using a different color than they did the first time. Sometimes they score themselves lower than I do- they're pretty tough on themselves! I then add up their score and average it to get their final grade for the task. Here is a picture of a rubric we used recently to score science space projects. I also try to write some type of feedback on the rubric so we can continue to grow as students!
