Making a Rubrics and ideas about alternative assesment



    
           
Rubrics help the teacher helps teachers define excellence and plan instruction so students can achieve it.  It also assist teachers in being accurate, fair, and consistent with scoring.
The primary reasons for using rubrics are to assist teachers in evaluating complex skills and products and to aid student understanding and mastery
Rubrics is very important in a certain class because from the perspective of student assessment and evaluation, a rubric is simply a scoring guide for evaluating student work. A rubric lists the important criteria on which a product or a performance will be judged and specifies the levels of quality for each of those criteria. As a future teacher it is really important to have a rubrics because it help us to identify if what specific areas does our students are weak. As a future teacher we can use it to assess projects, student groups, or individual students; students can use the same rubric for self-assessment as individuals, in groups, and for peer assessment; and parents can answer for themselves their questions about their child's performance.

In alternative assessment, I really agree the ideas that my classmate has been shared. It is really true that focuses on the individual participation in order to discover their own abilities and also in their interests.  It helps the teacher to evaluate and to improve the performance of the students. It also help the students to have a better grades. The overriding philosophy of performance-based assessment is that teachers should have access to information that can provide ways to improve achievement, demonstrate exactly what a student does or does not understand, relate learning experiences to instruction, and combine assessment with teaching.
