Assessments

The tool that I decided to use to clearly define expectations and standards for quality in student products and performances is the rubric. First of all it allow my student input into what should be scored on the project. This give the learner an opportunity to take a greater part in the learning process. It also allows the learner to set goals and expectations for themselves (not only set them but achieve them). It allows them to take ownershp of their learning.
