October 2017 – Burnaby District Literacy
 

Month: October 2017

 


If you are interested in starting Daily 5 for literacy, or Daily 3 for math in your classroom, join us to receive a copy of this book and explore how to set up this program.

The Daily 5 enhances classroom practices based on years of experience in classrooms and compelling new brain research. 

The Daily 5 provides a way for any teacher to structure literacy and math time to increase student independence and allow for individualized attention in small groups and one-on-one support.

For more information, contact Math and Science Program Consultant Donna Morgan at Donna.Morgan@sd41.bc.ca or Tanis Anderson at Tanis.Anderson@sd41.bc.ca.

Thank you to Denise Ferreira, English Department Head at Byrne Creek, for sharing these rubrics she uses with her secondary students.  She explicitly teaches her students how to use these rubrics, and provides much modelling. 

This single point rubric has many purposes, such as: 

  • giving feedback to students
  • a summative assessment
  • a self-assessment

denise SINGLE POINT RUBRIC 2

The second rubric is a self-assessment rubric.  This could be used for students to process and engage in while they are working, and then handing it in when they submit their work.  It helps students to see what they think they can do as they are heading to a more formal assessment.

Enjoy!
