Rubrics are assessment tools that clarify assessment criteria. They define multiple levels of performance for different aspects of a task. Creating effective rubrics involves: focusing on measurable objectives; describing competency stages for each criteria element; keeping rubrics brief and on one page; writing clear descriptions of competency levels; and evaluating and refining the rubric. Rubrics make assessment more consistent, explicit to students, and provide feedback to improve performance.

Rubrics: Transparent Assessment in Support of LearningKenneth Ronkowitz
Rubrics provide a powerful tool for grading and assessment that can also serve as a transparent and inspiring guide to learning. Rubrics have been used to increase transparency and accountability across K-12 and higher education, and in corporate and government settings.
This presentation looks at defining rubrics, reasons for using them, types and designing them using the Moodle rubric tool.

Imagine taking your students through a scary story about a scary ghost and they get to learn the most important passive structures of the English language. At the same time, when they do a follow up exercise, they get to learn a bit about Islamic ideas and facts. The exercise is designed in such as way that "Islam" has been integrated into language teaching. Actual names of the students have been used to make it more personal and friendly. Some of the ideas in the sentences about students are in fact true! Enjoy this free iESL grammar lesson from ibatefl.com

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Introduction to Rubrics
1. How to create and use a Rubric
Printed from the Learning, Teaching and Assessment Guide at http://www.ltag.education.tas.gov.au
2. How often have you attempted to grade your students'
work only to find that the assessment criteria were
vague and unclear? Would you be able to justify the
assessment or grade if you had to defend it?
A rubric is one assessment tool
which can be used to assess
criteria which are complex and
subjective.

4. The advantages of using rubrics in assessment are that they
can:
•allow assessment to be more consistent, valid and reliable
•impel teachers to clarify their criteria in specific terms
•make explicit to the student what is expected in a task and how
their work will be evaluated
•provide students and teachers with useful feedback to improve
their performances and practices
Printed from the Learning, Teaching and Assessment Guide at http://www.ltag.education.tas.gov.au
5. Rubrics can be created in a variety of
forms and levels of complexity, however,
they all contain common features that:
•focus on measuring stated objectives
(performance, behaviour or quality)
and
•contain specific performance characteristics
arranged in stages indicating the degree to which a
standard has been met
Printed from the Learning, Teaching and Assessment Guide at http://www.ltag.education.tas.gov.au
6.
•Have each rubric item focus on a different element
and clearly describe the stages in developing competence
in that element
•Keep it short and simple - use brief statements
or phrases and not too many elements. Ideally,
the entire rubric should fit on one sheet of
paper.

8. Describing the range of competence
Writing clear descriptions of the stages of competence of an
element is often quite difficult. It is sometimes easier to write
the two outside columns (no competence and full competence)
first, then describe what the stages in between might look like.
High Distinction…Distinction…Credit…Pass…Fail
Beginning...Developing...Accomplished...Exemplary
Needs Improvement...Satisfactory...Good...Exemplary
