<p>Rubrics let students know how something will be graded and the criteria that the teacher is looking for in an assignment. But with the rubric grade the teacher should also be providing specific feedback. What exactly did the student do well? Where are the areas where the student can improve? Being purposeful with both positive and constructive feedback will help students improve for future assignments. Most jobs require reflection that impacts change. Students need to start practicing reflection now so that they understand its importance and how it drives change in their work.</p>
