ABSTRACT

There are different ways that teachers can share this rubric with students. Some teachers prefer to provide it when they present a menu to students. No matter how teachers choose to share the rubric with students, the first time students see this rubric, it should be explained in detail, especially the last column, titled "Self." It is imperative that students self-evaluate their products. The Self column can provide a unique perspective on the product as it is being graded. Student-taught lessons are another unique situation. School curricula are already packed with information and teachers often feel that turning class time over to students should only be done if the experience will benefit everyone involved. Teachers would like to allow students to teach their classmates, but are concerned about quality lessons and may not be comfortable with the grading aspect of the assignment.
