How to Create and Use Rubrics for Formative Assessment and Grading

This is a very smart book. I was anti-rubric before I read this, but now I see that well-written rubric not only induces instsructors to make assignment instructions more clear but also helps students better understand assignments. Although I will not replace individualized comments with a rubric only, good rubrics are not grading "cheat sheets." This book is a must have for instructors of any level.

Since I didn't get much training on these topics when I went through alternative teacher certification I have been doing a poor job at all three. This book has some very good info and samples that will help me greatly improve how I prepare and use these metrics.... This in turn will help my students better understand upfront expectations and will more effectively measure what they've learned and gaps I need to reteach.

This book was listed in "Acceptable" condition. NO! This book was NEW! The only indicator of it being used was a last name printed on the first page. Other than that, this book is new! I've purchased books from the book store that have more wear and tear.

Very useful to grade skills. We really need alternative forms to assess our students in higher education. Easy to apply

I enjoyed the book. The text helped me for a course assignment.You can get the necessary information free on the internet.In support of authors, I purchased and enjoyed the book.

Great information and easy to implement! applicable for all grade levels and content areas.

Very informative, a quick academic read loaded with researched based best practice models. I regret is that it is not on audio book; I really could use the extra time to multi- task while attending to gaining knew academia knowledge.

This book provides specific information that increases the teacher's ability to write effective rubrics for different purposes. Plus, this book connects the standards to "Standard-Based Grading." This comes closer to being a science rather than an art, and every teacher needs to follow the rules that this implies. This author also discusses what IS and what is NOT a Rubric. All of this provides a clearer understanding of rubrics.

Libro muy didáctico , explica paso a paso cómo construir y aplicar la rúbrica.Tiene muchos ejemplos que sirven para comprender mejor su uso e interpretación.

A must read, on rubrics

Very helpful

Definitely using some of the things in this book in my own practice

Ce livre est très bien fait sur le sujet de l'évaluation. Il traite très bien les grilles d'évaluation, comment les élaborer, les comprendre, les pièges à éviter, etc.Il m'a été très important dans l'élaboration de mes grilles d'évaluation pour l'enseignement supérieur, mais il s'appliquer très bien à tous les niveaux.
