Developing criteria rubrics in the art classroom
One part about rubrics that I find very important is that they should not be used only by the teachers. I believe that the students should be given the rubric before an art assignment so that they have a clear expectation of what is expected of them. The students should also be able to grade themselves on their work, using the same rubric the teacher uses. This will give the students a chance to reflect on their work and to think about their strengths and what they can improve upon next time. I don’t think any rubric should have comments or words that are very negative, such as bad or weakness. Teachers should try to use positive language. For example, instead of saying a weakness, the teacher should say that something the student could improve upon.
When creating a rubric, it should be very clear to the students what the rubric means and the expectations. What should be on the rubric is exactly what you wanted the students to get out of the assignment. To be able to create a good rubric in order to know what to asses, the teacher should go back and look at his/her objectives. If the objectives are written correctly and they are measurable, then the teacher will be able to create a clear rubric.
