When I first created the idea for Visual Rubrics, the intention was to help educators convey through a clear visual, what students know and understand. While I had used traditional rubrics for years as a history teacher, I always felt like there was something lacking in the experience, both for the educator and the student.
Visual Rubrics are designed to visually capture the evidence of student learning, while at the same time emphasize opportunity for growth and continued learning over time.
The first prototype of a Visual Rubric was just the beginning of educators being able to capture, visualize and share student learning against class standards, portrait of a graduate, long term group projects or any other classroom approach.
This three part course is designed to help educators not only explore Visual Rubrics, but more importantly reconsider their current practice around grading, assessment, equity in grading and their current use of rubrics.
