Authentic Assessment and Feedback

Educators know that authentic tasks such as essays, reports, discussion posts, portfolios and team projects are the best measures of student learning. The research shows that the prompt, detailed feedback on these kinds of tasks is vital if students are to learn and grow.

Here are some of the http://www.rubistar4teachers.org rubrics created for the www.macnedstudents.wikispaces.com project:

Assessment and evaluation
Collaborative Work Skills
Group Planning - Research Project, Project Report
Reading - Analyzing Information: Media ; Timeline
Video - Talk Show
Interview: Media now and five years ago
Reflections
6 1 Trait Writing Model


I am afraid that all of these are a "bit too much" for our students for 7 weeks time, however we may still keep them here for giving feedback.
