Grading Rubrics
Grading Rubrics Shown to be Effective:
The strategy I chose is grading rubrics, it is used to base students achievement on their participation and
learning in school, it is also used as a grading guideline to follow in assessment. Most students do not understand
why they receive a particular grade on an assignment, and sometimes think they are being judged based on their
grade. Grading rubrics help students overcome the fear of failure due to seeing achievement on focused goals on
their grading scale. Also, students encouragement to achieve is strengthened when we are involved in using
grading rubrics. Grading rubrics are great for group work as well. This strategy is also used best for students
who have learning disabilities because they need a systematic way to help see their own, and their peers work.
Grading rubrics can be used for any disability. Also, this strategy can be used for anybody in an inclusion class. It
encourages students and parents to monitor childrens success. Also, students with special needs have the rubric
tailored to their learning styles and specific needs.

Implementations:
Every teacher will use this strategy during their teaching career. Using grading rubrics can help children succeed
or it can show them what areas they need to strengthen in their school work. Teachers can use different types of
grading criteria when teaching for different students needs. Grading rubrics can come in various ways for
grading a students work. You must give students opportunities to become familiar with this strategy.

Step-by-step directions
would include:

- Letting the students know what they are being graded on

- Look at models
- Describe the best and worst levels of quality that could be graded on

- Use self-assessment and peer assessment

- Use teacher implement
