Using Rubrics for Performance-Based Assessment

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWriting a rubric that can accurately evaluate student work can be tricky. Rather than a single right or wrong answer, rubrics leave room for interpretation and thus subjectivity. How does a teacher who wants to use performance-based assessment in this day and age of educational data and SMART goals find a way to reliably assess student work? The solution is to write clear rubrics that allow the evaluator to objectively assess student work. This book will show classroom teachers not only how to create their own objective rubrics, which can be used to evaluate performance assessments, but also how to develop rubrics that measure hard-to-assess skills, such as leadership and grit, and how to empower their own students to create rubrics that are tailored to their work.
A Linguistically Inclusive Approach to Grading Writing

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"A Linguistically Inclusive Approach to Grading Writing: A Practical Guide provides concrete tools for college writing instructors to improve their grading and feedback practices to benefit all student writers. A linguistically inclusive grading approach honors Black linguistic justice, facilitates students' use of feedback, and guides students to make rhetorical linguistic choices. The existing literature addresses inclusive writing assessment from a programmatic and class policy level (e.g., Inoue, 2015; Perryman-Clark, 2012). Meanwhile, this book provides models of actual comments on student writing to help instructors develop the necessary skills to incorporate inclusive assessment and feedback into their everyday practice. The book details how to respond to organization, word choice, grammar, and mechanics rooted in African American English and other language varieties. A linguistically inclusive approach to grading writing will benefit instructors across contexts - including instructors who teach online, teach high-achieving students, or use contract grading. The book's example comments and practices can also be implemented by instructors constrained by mandated grade weighting or rubrics that preclude adopting more extensive changes. A linguistically inclusive grading approach is grounded in theory and research across education, composition, and sociolinguistics"--
