Case: Writing Rubrics
My district recently had a practice run of the writing portion of the new state testing (4th grade). To assess the students, we used the rubrics that the state will be using. The problem is that what the state is calling an analytical rubric seems to function much more closely to a holistic rubric. To receive a level 4, the student must have all components (strong introduction, conclusion, etc.). The dilemma comes when the student has a strong introduction with a weak conclusion. Apparently, you are unable to give in between scores, such as a 3.5. How do you address assigning a score to a student who has some strong components, while others are weak or non-existent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is an occurrence that I see quite often in the classes in which I co- teach as a majority of major assignments and projects are assessed using rubrics. In my own experiences, this is an issue that I feel helps make rubrics so effective. A majority of students are not always going to exceed in all areas of a rubric. Students are able to see the various areas of the provided rubric and are able to build and exceed on the areas that are their strengths while addressing and working towards improving their weakness. In fact, identifying these weakness is very beneficial to both the teacher and the student in order to improve and modify performance as necessary as to better their performance on the next assessment. |
