Streamline assessment and enhance feedback in your classes. In this interactive session, you'll learn to design your own digital rubric in Google Classroom using your program of studies outcomes. These rubrics can then be used live during student performances and presentations saving time and paper while increasing marking efficiency. Most importantly, they offer students and parents transparent, real-time insight into their achievement. Designed for junior high and high school Fine Arts and CTS teachers—but welcoming to educators from all subject areas—this session will help you bring clarity, consistency, and confidence to your assessment practice.
