Student Generated Rubrics

What are the BENEFITS of this seminar?

Participants will learn:

• How to create a student-generated rubrics model and tools to implement immediately in the classroom

This one-day interactive seminar for all educators, based on the published book of the same title, is a student-centered instruction and assessment program that clarifies for students what they are to learn during a unit of instruction, how it will be measured through a performance task, and how that performance will be evaluated using task-specific rubric criteria that are teacher- and student-created. Many teachers are interested in learning new ways to motivate their students to learn. Student-Generated Rubrics is a proven, practical model for directly involving students in the assessment process by creating a rubric with their teacher before completing the assignment. By increasing students’ ownership in the process of evaluating their work, they become more motivated to produce quality work.

What are the LEARNING OBJECTIVES of this seminar?

 During this interactive seminar, participants will:

• Learn new strategies to motivate students and improve work quality through student participation in writing rubrics.
• Understand how the foundation of the Student-Generated Rubrics instruction and assessment model can be built in the primary grades and serve as the basis for further development in the upper grades.
  Identify the focus questions from state and district standards to guide unit planning.
• Learn how to create a teacher-guided student-generated rubric before work begins on the performance task.
• Understand the importance of using peer-, self-, and teacher assessment to revise and evaluate the performance task.
• Learn to promote student self-reflection on unit performance and goal setting.
• Learn to design a unit folder that includes focus questions, unit work, student assessment, rubric, self-reflections, and parent feedback for inclusion in the student portfolio.
