Instructional Strategies
Description: This project was to select an instructional strategy that you can implement in the classroom. I selected the "rubric". The video explains how to use a rubric and shows data I collected after two units using a rubric.
Rationale: Rubrics are important in the art classroom as art skills can be subjective. Using a rubric tells students exactly what they need to succeed in the final project. Not only does it tell students what they need, it justifies a grade score. Data collected from rubrics can also give insight into what you taught well and what needed more help. Rubrics can be implemented and adjusted as a fair way to evaluate diverse learners. Rubrics can collect data and monitor student performance.
