Evaluating my students

This week’s blog is to tell you about what standards and evaluation methods that I will be using in my classroom.

I believe in using the standard assessment of excellent, acceptable and needs improvement.
So if I had my students write a paper on “How smoking affects your body” I my rubric might go something like this;

An excellent score in for the writing portion would be zero spelling or grammatical errors, acceptable, grammar and spelling are mostly correct and needs improvement would be spelling and grammar interfere with the understanding of the paper.

An excellent score for paper content would be all content is covered and complete, acceptable, most content is covered and complete and needs improvement would be missing or incomplete information or material.

The section and research done for the paper would goes as follows, to be excellent the student must use 2 or more accredited sources site properly, acceptable, used 1 source sited properly, and needs improvement would have zero sources.

I believe that this is an excellent way for the students to have an understanding of what is expected from them going into assignment.
