  Case: GKIDS Rubric
Mrs. Love recently had a parent conference, in which the purpose was to explain GKIDS and the Kindergarten report card. Mrs. Love explained the student's score with her parents, and the mother requested to obtain the GKIDS rubrics, so that she knows what her daughter will have to demonstrate in order to receive a "Meets" in each category. Would it be appropriate and/or ethical for Mrs. Love to give her access to these rubrics?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Absolutely! In older grades, even as low as third, it's important that the students know what is being expected of them. Granted, in kindergarten they might not understand, but you never know. Always let your parents know what your expectations for your students are. If this includes giving them rubrics then by all means allow your parents to have access to anything you can. The only thing I would recommend you check it whether or not GKIDS allows their rubrics to be given out. Some major tests have rules against things like that, but if there is nothing written on the rubric or in the information go for it. If nothing else, consult your team leader or an AP and see if you can get any information from them regarding the distribution of rubrics.
