Rubrics are an effective way to reveal to children how they will be assessed and in return, they will examine the standards and try to achieve them.

A rubric can be used throughout the classroom in many ways:

  • In assessing written assignments such as poems and stories.

  • In role play and dramatic play centres.

  • In presentations such as songs and puppet play.

  • In assessing developmental milestones such as language or personal and social development (dressing one self and eating habits).

  • In assessing a child's readiness to learn.

  • In cooperation with report cards: using the specific categories that are outlined in the final report card (ex// Beginning, Developing, Independent) and applying them to the rubric. Effective and efficient in transferring assessment to the final evaluation.

  • In assisting the teachers, as well as the parents, in looking at the whole child.

  • Rubrics can be used to make subjective judgements about a child's work or developmental status and more objectively through clearly stated criteria for performance or expected knowledge.

  • Introduce rubrics through age-appropriate media (ex// drawing)
