Assessment Case Study



In your blog, please answer the following:
1.       In addition to the criteria for what constitutes quality work and having student self-assess, list some additional guidelines for Miss Wren to remember when developing a rubric.
2.       Grades, a form of extrinsic reinforcement, can be a source of celebration for Miss Wren’s students or a punishment. In order to make the most of grades and increase her students’ chances for success, what should Miss Wren keep in mind when grading her students?

1)      Some additional guidelines for developing a rubric would be:
                Does this particular criterion fit the subject? (e.g. should you grade spelling or grammar on an oral report or should diction and projection matter more?)
                Are the criteria for the age/grade level appropriate?
                Are the criteria challenging and not seemingly impossible for the students to achieve?
2)      Effort and time spent on the project should count more than for the final piece for students who don’t have access to a broad array of tools with which to complete the assignment.

Knowledge of the subject in a question and answer section should count higher than the section on presentation for students who have a difficult time of presenting.

Keeping the final grades private can help the students who fear failure or ridicule by not letting the entire class know their grade.
