Professional Development to Practice
Final Thoughts
❑ Rubrics are a good starting point because they organize
the criteria for students into levels of description about
various aspects of the work.
❑ You can find out how students comprehend what the
descriptive levels of a rubric mean by asking them to
state them in their own words.
❑ Students can learn to more precisely identify levels of
quality when they see them by looking at examples of
work.
❑ Students who can identify quality levels in sample papers
are better at self-assessment and at producing desired
levels of work themselves.
