Rubrics are assessment tools that specifically outline how to succeed at a certain task. Although many #langchat teachers know about rubrics, there is discussion about the best ways to create and implement them in the world language classroom.
On Thursday night, #langchat teachers from around the country gathered to discuss the benefits of rubrics and how to design them to assess certain tasks. Although participants had some great ideas about the best rubrics for interpersonal, interpretive and presentational activities, the real gem of the night was the idea of incorporating student decision-making in the rubric creative process.
We’d like to thank our moderators, @msfrenchteach and @SECottrell for helping us share relevant resources and ideas for using rubrics in the world language classroom. Unfortunately, there were many comments that we could not include in our overview. If you’d like to see the full transcript of the night’s chat, check out our online archive.
