Hi Tara, 

Cool rubric! The single point format does make it appear easy for students to understand the standard expectations. I love how you got us all going in thinking about this format.

If the Standard column represents Proficient, I wonder if it would make sense to call it that rather than standard? I also wonder if it would be helpful for students and graders to specify what each level of the growth mindset looks like - i.e. difference between beginning, emerging, developing...?  - while staying with the single point format...

I find your descriptors especially in row 10-12 super clear. A few of descriptive words 9 could probably be made slightly more specific (i.e. what does appropriate and acceptable look like). In 13 (English Language Conventions), is this perhaps the "developing" level?

We’re on Day 3 and there’s lots of activity happening in the course: Research, creating, sharing, lights going on!

Four of you have shared your rubrics and questions in the Sharing & Feedback Forum already, which is great! Karen got us started with a rubric for a reflective essay assignment and we’ve got analytical and single point rubrics from Christina, Leonne and Janna.

The suggested time frame is for all of you to share your rubric by the end of the day today. The earlier the better, as it allows more time for people to comment and offer feedback.

And if you’re hesitating to post because what you’ve got is not “finished” – don’t hesitate! Everyone who’s shared so far has several questions and are posting drafts. So, post what you have and seek input from your peers!

Lastly, be sure to also check out the lively conversation in the Q&A forum on The Single Point Rubric initiated by Tara. Some great input and resources – and it sounds like several of you are inspired to try out the Single Point Rubric for this course.

Keep it rolling!

Bettina
