Date: Tuesday October 24, 2017

Time: 4:00-5:30pm

Location: Moscrop Secondary School Library ​

RSVP:  Dan.Adrian@sd41.bc.ca

Feel free to invite colleagues from out of district, as well as student teachers.  

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

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!

I love this book!  Check out the short video clips.  This would be great to show at a staff meeting or professional day to start a conversation about what we value in our reading instruction.
