Use
Rubrics |
||||||
The outcomes in projects are both content-driven and performance oriented. PBL therefore requires assessments that effectively measure academic achievement and the application of knowledge. For those reasons, rubrics are essential to PBL. |
|||||||
| What is a Rubric? |  A
rubric is a scoring guide that clearly differentiates
levels of student performance. Rubrics are an
excellent organizing tool for a project. The
process of writing a rubric requires teachers
to think deeply about what they want their students
to know and do. See an example of a Political
Studies Project Rubric |
|
|||||
| How do They Work? | When
written well, rubrics provide a clear description
of proficient student work and serve as a guide
for helping students achieve and exceed performance
standards. Rubrics
work best when they are accompanied by exemplars and
should be made available to students. |
