NOTE:
This post is the fourth in a miniseries on Assessment and Evaluation in
the classroom, aimed at providing support both to my teacher colleagues and to
parents of school children.
Part of good assessment involves making it clear to the
student what the goals or expectations are for their learning, and then also
involving them in thinking about their learning, reflecting on how they are
doing, and encouraging them to identify what they do well and where they have
room for improvement or further practice.
In this photo, we see a student-friendly visual rubric
outlining the different achievement levels.

And here is an example of a rubric that can be used with
students to assess their learning about a unit of study in math:
|
I need
some more teaching about this.
|
I need
some help to practice this.
|
I can
practice this on my own.
|
I am
ready to help others with this.

This post is my favourite so far in the series (which is very helpful, by the way!). We sometimes see rubrics like this coming home from school but I really love the way yours is worded, with the "I need some more teaching about this" all the way to "I'm ready to help others with this." It makes so much sense to me and really makes the level of their proficiency clear. Awesome!
