I am a high school math teacher that utilizes the use of rubrics in my class. I like that the students know the expectations before turning in their coursework. I agree with Dr. Scott Forrest when he talks about the rubric focuses on priority skills.
Great questions. Also, a good reminder that rubrics should evolve over time.
