This Rubric is one that I created in with the course sites tool. It allowed me to access what field i was covering as well as provide simple but accurate guidelines to assess the students on. With both of the rubrics i feel that they fall into the authentic and intentional category of meaningful learning. This provides the teacher with a great assessment as well as a great tool that the students can use to help with their assignment. This is not a new tool that is being used but it can be used in different ways and it is intentional for the students to use to help further their learning and skills.
Teachers can input these into online lessons or use stickily in the classroom.Rubrics can be used for projects such as research papers or for observational use almost similar to a check list assessment but in much more detail. For example, for younger children you can create a rubric to where you assess their knowledge and skill with colors. You can use the point system more as a learning scale to where one being the weakest and four being proficient. A question you could ask is if the student can match up the colors. One would be that the student does not grasp the concept, two is that the student has a understanding but struggles to put it together, three would be that the student understands but gets mixed up after a few and four is that the student shows a well understanding and makes little mistakes when matching the colors.
There are many things that a teacher can assess and many tools to help them do it.
