Case 8 – Awesome Feedback Features – Rubric Marking Your Way

We love this quote from one of our favourite teachers –

“If you’ve been in teaching for the last four or five years and you don’t know that feedback has a significant effect on learning, then you’ve had your head under a rock.” Kelly Bauer, St Lukes Assistant Principal

Yes, teacher feedback makes the biggest impact on improving student writing skills. We all know that it also takes the most time.

We worked hard on improving feedback processes for teachers with teachers. We rethought and reworked :

1. The way teachers wanted to make effective and consistent feedback through a standardised library of comments they could activate quickly.

2. How teachers can apply a single point of feedback to a student or apply the feedback to the entire class.

3. How teachers can dictate feedback to avoid typos and use Voice to Text quickly.

4. The way feedback is saved and reported on rather than dissipated through multiple documents.

5. For ESL and language teachers, streamline the way multilingual feedback can be delivered to suit the context.

All feedback is tracked and able to be analysed by Cohort, Class, Activity and Student.

Rubric Making is all about you.

OUTCOME

Teachers can use their existing rubrics as marking guides for grading. All rubrics can be shared across teachers to minimise the number of rubric conflicts and repetition that can happen across different years and faculties.

Teachers can integrate rubric marking into Scribo to round out the whole feedback / grading process. Students can grade themselves against the rubric as they submit or turn in work for grading.

Teachers can quickly create and grade against rubrics online.
