Inhaltsangabe

Brookhart helps educators learn how to create and use rubrics for formative assessment and grading. She identifies two essential components of effective rubrics: criteria that relate to learning (not tasks) that students are being asked to demonstrate, and clear descriptions of performance across a continuum of quality. She explains the differences between various kinds of rubrics, when to use each, and examples from all grade levels and content areas. She offers strategies for using them in teaching according to purpose: sharing learning targets with students, formative assessment in terms of feedback and student self-evaluation, and grading. She also describes common misconceptions about rubrics, how to write or select them, differences from other assessment tools like checklists and rating scales, and how to use general rubrics for fundamental skills, task-specific rubrics for special purposes, and proficiency-based rubrics for standards-based grading and report card grades.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

What is a rubric? A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student work that describes levels of performance quality. Sounds simple enough, right? Unfortunately, rubrics are commonly misunderstood and misused.

The good news is that when rubrics are created and used correctly, they are strong tools that support and enhance classroom instruction and student learning. In this comprehensive guide, author Susan M. Brookhart identifies two essential components of effective rubrics: (1) criteria that relate to the learning (not the "tasks") that students are being asked to demonstrate and (2) clear descriptions of performance across a continuum of quality. She outlines the difference between various kinds of rubrics (for example, general versus task-specific, and analytic versus holistic), explains when using each type of rubric is appropriate, and highlights examples from all grade levels and assorted content areas. In addition, Brookhart addresses

* Common misconceptions about rubrics;

* Important differences between rubrics and other assessment tools such as checklists and rating scales, and when such alternatives can be useful; and

* How to use rubrics for formative assessment and grading, including standards-based grading and report card grades.

Intended for educators who are already familiar with rubrics as well as those who are not, this book is a complete resource for writing effective rubrics and for choosing wisely from among the many rubrics that are available on the Internet and from other sources. And it makes the case that rubrics, when used appropriately, can improve outcomes by helping teachers teach and helping students learn.
