This series of workshops will introduce and foster discussion about theories of best practice across the pedagogical spectrum. Peer conversations and exercises will help focus instructors on how to successfully apply best practice theory to curriculum design, student assessment, program evaluation and professional development as an educator. The workshops are designed to build on one another, but prior attendance or attendance at all four is not required or necessary.

Session III: Rubrics: How to Save Time and Energy and Increase Student Achievement

Using rubrics can save faculty time and help clarify our expectations for students! Explore the relationship between the rubric and student learning, the limitations of the rubric relative to assessment of formative elements, and alternative assessments that maintain high standards of mastery. Instructors should bring anonymous samples of student work and grading rubrics to help assess the utility of the rubric and the efficacy of the graded work in reaching the assignment’s stated outcomes.
