Assessment
During our October 1st class, we were discussing assessment. The activities we did were quite difficult. It made me think about how sometimes as teacher we overlook the difficulty of the tasks we present or expect of our students. Sometimes we see "assignments" as a "piece of cake" we tell our students "it's not hard, it's easy" JUST DO IT! (at least at the secondary level). But Dr. Rivera said "if we think its difficult as adults, imagine how the students feel?" That comment was on point. During our discussion, I enjoyed most covering rubric as an an effective assessment tool. It is easier for the students to understand why they received a certain grade. At the secondary level, students tend to question every grade they get, "Sir Why did I get a 70?" By using a rubric, the students are able to see what was expected of them. I usually use rubric in my classroom as an assessment tool, it is also a way for the students to be able to see what is expected of them, to get the best grade possible. This is very useful for student feedback.

Rubric is very useful for me too. I use it to bring out the best of my students. My students understand and know what expected from them if they know and see the set goal for certain work. This help them to try and to do their best. Rubric also helps teacher when it comes to parents who are more demanding and expecting too much such as grade. For example, one parent may complain why the student got C in PE. Your rubric for PE may help the parent understand how the student get the grade. RUBRIC is very helpful in many ways.
