In this episode we talk about rubrics, not just as an assessment tool, but also as a way to help students grow in proficiency.

I'm joined by Beckie Bray Rankin, a high school French Teacher in Massachusetts, who has presented widely on the topic of rubrics...or, as she refers to them, the "thingamabob that does the job."

Beckie talks about:

• what pre-rubric teaching was like
• how she discovered rubrics (or rediscovered)
• the benefits of rubrics for students and teachers
• rubrics and IPA’s 
• the Learn -Practice -Assess -Reflect cycle
• how a rubric is never really “done” and what she continues to work on
