Using Teaching and Learning Rubrics

Teaching and Learning Rubrics are a powerful tool to help students evaluate their own work. It holds students accountable to demonstrate that they have mastered each element in the standard. Here is the process I follow to create and implement TLRs in my class.

1. After you have taught all of your mini lessons, create the rubric with your class. I create the rubric by displaying all of the anchor charts we have created for the genre. I also have students open their interactive notebooks to review each mini lesson.

2. Starting at the first mini lesson, chart or type on a projector each element that students should have in their writing. Go through each poster and entry in the interactive journal to create each element on the rubric. Have students participate by telling you what is expected of them for each element. The more ownership they have in creating the rubric, the easier it will be for students to self evaluate!

3. After the rubric is created (usually the following day), model how to fill out the TLR. I select one volunteer to bring their writing up to the projector. Students take out their colored pencils and color each element on the rubric a different color. My volunteer student goes through each element on the rubric and models how to underline the evidence that they met the element on the rubric. They fill out the evidence on their rubric.

4. Students revise their writing to include any elements that they did not have evidence of. They must do this before they sign up for a peer or teacher conference.

*Note- The first time you create a TLR with your class the process will be time consuming. After going though the process a few times, it goes much quicker. It is worth investing the time in the beginning!
