Ask Me How I Already Finished My Grading! * √ §

Teaching and learning research suggests that students need immediate feedback, scaffolding of assignments, and guidance to cultivate metacognition. So how can you meet your students’ learning needs without 24/7 grading? Rubrics are one answer. Rubrics enable you to meet students’ feedback needs, link low and high stakes learning opportunities, and help students to think about their thinking (and yours). Plus they speed up grading and make it more consistent, while clarifying how you want students to demonstrate their learning. This session explores how to build rubrics, activate them in Blackboard, engage them for self and peer review, and anticipate ways to use the resulting data. Join your colleagues for this discussion on how to create and use rubrics effectively. Lunch will be provided.
