I currently use a type of rubric in the classroom for english and
maths to enable a clear focus on what is expected from each pupil when
doing their individual work. These are displayed on an A3 size poster in
the relevant display sections of the room.Each pupil then
has two simple charts one for self assessment and one for peer
assessment (Picked these up when doing the Incredible Years programme).They
are then able to evaluate their performance against the rubric and also
get a friends point of view. These would be kept in their SALF folders
and used as an on going assessment of how they are doing with me at
“discussion time” and a joint decision will be reached if the particular
piece of work supersedes the one currently in their folder.
They make that decision after the discussion and using the rubric . After this module, I can see that I could use a rubric for a variety of subjects.
