Middle Level Podcast (audio)- Rubrics


http://www.middleschoolguide.com/products/podcasts/


I found a great audio podcast.  It is titled “The Rubric Road Trip.”  Students experience rubrics first in middle school.  A rubric is a type of authentic assessment and a great tool for students to use during projects, term papers, performances, etc.  They show students what is expected of them and how their work will be graded.  Also a great strategy to apply when using rubrics is to let your students help establish the grading criteria for the rubric.  This gives students a sense of ownership of their work.  The audio podcast relates to “This We Believe” under the characteristic:  Varied and ongoing assessments advance learning as well as measure it.
