This week we talked about Rubrics and creating good rubrics. I have been following a science teacher on TikTok that does standard based rubrics and grading and I really like the idea of them. I know it will be a lot of work to translate the current math standards into standards that my students understand but I like how it gives a student the knowledge of where they stand according to what they should learn throughout the year. I also appreciate that it helps to make sure that I am teaching all the standards and lets me know if there is a standard that needs more work for the entire class. This teacher also allows students to do retakes of just the standard that they did not do well on, instead of retaking everything. I like that this concept encourages students to go back and do a little more work to understand the single standard. This would help keep them from becoming overwhelmed and let them reflect on why they struggle with just one standard and not all of the content. I know as a parent it would have been very helpful to see that kind of rubric/feedback on my son's math tests last year. I was never sure which concept he was struggling with when he got a bad grade on a test. It also relieves some of that pressure that comes with retakes, the student can focus their studies and remediation on the standard(s) they struggled with.
