Rubics- probably the first of many posts

A couple of early thoughts about how rubrics are used.

The first one is how they are structured, they dont use and actually frown about the rarely, usually always approach. Instead they phrase this in a much more assertive fashion. This is reliant upon writing very clear precise standards. They then assess to Approaching, Meets and Exceeds.

I need to compile a few examples of this before I leave.

Next was a comment from a student and (seperately) from a teacher about that students are allowed to experience some failure. Although there is supportive action to remedy this. It is interesting that both student and shared the view on the fact that it was the students responsibilty to complete the tasks that are part of the bigger projects. The rubrics make clear the high standards and the expectations.
