Fun Things You Can Do with Rubrics & Direct Learning Evidence: A Kinesthetic Walkthrough

You already know about rubrics, in fact, you’ve used them to speed up feedback to students, make grading more consistent, and demonstrate to students how to grow as learners using rubrics to analyze and improve their work.* In this session, we challenge you to extend your rubric skills through collaborative kinesthetic co-creation of a rubric. We begin with a physical version of the FDC rubric template. Each team will craft a criterion row, align the learning defined to course and program outcomes, and walk us through their analysis. We’ll then use our synthesized spatial rubric to assess student samples, examine the direct measure evidence that emerges, and consider how it informs student learning of the assignment, course, program, and institutional outcomes. Finally, we bridge these data to sample indirect data and reflect on potential insights.

*Activate and then build on your learning from past sessions that you attended or viewed the recording of, like …

Part of the FDC Leadership & Teaching Series
Launched in March 2018!


Sessions in this series are designed to help you to reflect on challenges in collegiate teaching and how you, in your role as a formal or informal leader at UMBC, can contribute to innovative solutions. Faculty and staff colleagues will address specific challenges in interactive presentations designed to help you explore key questions, for example:
  • How can you use research to improve teaching, learning, and curriculum design?
  • How can you connect to other teaching leaders to identify common challenges and devise shared solutions?
  • How can you contribute to a collaborative culture of evidence-based teaching to improve student learning?
  • How can you identify policies, processes, and technologies that make it easier to gather and use evidence of student learning?
All faculty are welcome to attend, especially those who...
  • Are chairs, deans, graduate program directors, or have formal leadership roles, or
  • Have informal leadership roles or who aspire to be campus leaders.

Please note that this is an in person program with lunch! Therefore, registration will close on September 6 or when we reach capacity. Funding for in person programs is limited, so we ask that you please commit to coming upon registration and kindly release your spot if you can no longer attend.
