Grading Rubrics
Grading Rubrics Shown to be Effective:
The strategy I chose is grading rubrics, it is used to base students achievement on their
participation and learning in school, it is also used as a grading guideline to follow in
assessment. Most students do not understand why they receive a particular grade on an
assignment, and sometimes think they are being judged based on their grade. Grading rubrics
help students overcome the fear of failure due to seeing achievement on focused goals on
their grading scale. Also, students encouragement to achieve is strengthened when we are
involved in using grading rubrics. Grading rubrics are great for group work as well. This
strategy is also used best for students who have learning disabilities because they need a
systematic way to help see their own, and their peers work. Grading rubrics can be used for
any disability. Also, this strategy can be used for anybody in an inclusion class. It encourages
students and parents to monitor childrens success. Also, students with special needs have the
rubric tailored to their learning styles and specific needs.

Implementations:
Every teacher will use this strategy during their teaching career. Using grading rubrics can
help children succeed or it can show them what areas they need to strengthen in their school
work. Teachers can use different types of grading criteria when teaching for different
students needs. Grading rubrics can come in various ways for grading a students work. You
must give students opportunities to become familiar with this strategy.
