Rubric+Generators

** Why Use Rubrics? ** Rubrics differ from traditional methods of assessment in that they examine students in the actual process of learning, clearly showing them how their work is being evaluated. Rubrics communicate detailed explanations of what constitutes excellence throughout a project and provide a clear teaching directive. Rubrics help teachers clarify exactly what students need to achieve in content and performance standards. Because rubrics set forth precise criteria, teachers are better able to assess skills that may fall outside the scope of traditional testing. Consistent scores attached to each level of a rubric, such as 1 through 5, can provide an objective basis for assigning grades.
