Teaching Practice Rubrics: Out of the Wild and On with the Project ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
An Answer to Prayers
Ms. Oakley, an assistant principal in Maize, KS, imparts her feelings on how RubiStar is an answer to teachers' prayers. She believes that RubiStar greatly helps teachers who would not otherwise have the time to create rubrics from scratch. Because of the customizability of RubiStar rubrics, teachers of all grade levels and subjects are empowered with the ability to individualize rubrics to meet their students’ needs.
Hitting the Target
Mrs. Pfannenstiel, a principal in Maize, KS, states that over a third of the teachers in her school use RubiStar. She views rubrics as a means to define a clear target for the students to strive towards. The clarity that rubrics provide for students’ projects enables the students to be better prepared to meet the requirements of state standards and the No Child Left Behind legislation.
