Introduction
Finding meaningful, manageable ways to assess students can be a challenge. Whether an assessment is done before, during, or after the instruction and learning, teachers need ways to evaluate and record the findings. Rubrics are a helpful tool for evaluating many kinds of student products. Authentic learning projects, writings, speeches, collaborative projects, and many more products can be assessed using rubrics. Portfolios can be a beneficial way of showing the learning that has taken place over time. Recording ongoing student skill development and maintaining running records are essential components for individual student assessment.
