Case: Writing in Math
Mr. Smith is a 6th grade math teacher. His school has recently adopted a policy that requires every summative assessment, in every subject, to have a written response section. The Language Arts lead teacher for the school created a rubric that must be used, school wide, to grade the written response. The rubric is not math friendly and Mr. Smith is having a difficult time grading grading the written responses according to the rubric. Mr. Smith feels as though he should be grading his students on the math content, not whether or not they used correct grammar or spelling. He has noticed a drop in his math test scores. He has suggested to create a rubric just for math; however, administration wants the same rubric for all subjects. What should he do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the rubric must be used in all subjects, the rubric needs to be rewritten to meet criteria for all subjects not just Language Arts or Math. The rubric should be compatible to all subject areas required to use it. If it is not working, administration should get input form all subject areas to see how it would need to be revised. |
