Rubrics serve as a valuable tool for highlighting lesson objectives and preparing students for success by specifically presenting expectations. Rubrics provide clarity and consistency, as well as streamline the grading process, making it more efficient and equitable while minimizing bias. Participants will explore types of rubrics, their functionality within SpeedGrader, and techniques for constructing detailed criteria.
