Class Participation, Group Work, and Social Skills Rubric

Attention please!!!!! Introduccing Rubrics... we are going to use rubrics to evaluate what we are doing in class...

A rubric is a scoring tool that's generally used for subjective and authentic assessments. In subjective assessments, rubrics help create a certain level of objectivity. As a result, learners are more clear about the expectations prior to assessment and are clear about their areas of weakness and strength after the assessment. In authentic assessments (which are usually subjective), rubrics help educators communicate and assess levels of performance.

So, for a starter I want you to think about your performance in your classes.... then, evaluate yourself.. Use the following rubric....

After you do that, just comment in our facebook group how you did on assessing yourself...... Be fair and try to get better and better each day... Remember you are all fireworks...

Well, have fun and Keep on shining Love and Peace! Dr. Doris Molero
