FIAE Chapter 4

With portfolios, interpretations of students' mastery are more valid, and subsequent decisions we make are more effective. When designing a rubric, there are several factors that must be identified. Chapter 4 gives us directions for how to design a rubric. It is important to decide whether you want to design a holistic, or analytic rubric, a holistic grades the major ideas as a whole, it usually takes teachers less time to grade this way, and we must use more discretion. When designing a rubric it is important to keep in mind what you expect a piece that will earn a perfect grade will look like. Student self assessment is a great way for students to receive feedback about how they are doing. This will aid their learning.
