Behold the single-point rubric, my favorite tool discovery of 2017.

Check out <\/span>its simplicity and its easy adaptability to one or more outcomes in a single tool. <\/span>Use it for focused grading, coaching, self-reflection, peer feedback, student-led conferences\u2014the list could go on. And one of its main values is how it solves for several common pitfalls of rubrics along the way<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n First the tool<\/a> itself, then a short critique of traditional rubrics\u2014and a few ideas about how this simple resource can help us bring a stronger game with many important aspects of communicating about learning. <\/span><\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n Note:\u00a0<\/b>You can use the middle column for either of these purposes:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Adapted from Cult of Pedagogy: <\/b>https:\/\/www.cultofpedagogy.com\/single-point-rubric\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Sources<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n Fluckiger, J.

Rubrics help get valuable criteria for success out of teachers\u2019 heads and let it loose in the world, making it available for the use of everyone in the classroom. As someone educated in days of yore that preceded wide use of rubrics, they would have been very helpful to me as a young learner; hence, I am a big fan.<\/span><\/p>\n Common pitfalls of rubrics<\/b><\/p>\n It is quite difficult, however, to design clear and effective rubrics. Here are some common pitfalls I have noticed. (If you know other pitfalls, uses, solutions, please share in comment section.)<\/span><\/p>\n Uses of the single-point rubric<\/b><\/p>\n Enter this lean, mean machine, a rubric as versatile as a Swiss Army knife, or one of those mind-boggling 27-in-one bicycle tools. Here are some ideas for how to use it to communicate about learning.<\/span><\/p>\n Strengths of the single-point rubric<\/b><\/p>\n Please share your thoughts on rubric design in the comment section\u2014especially if you have used one-point rubrics and can share your experience\u2014or you have other cool redesigns of rubrics to share.
