Comment on Laura Hogins's post: yes we use the ruburic
The best test for competency is to ask the students critical thinking questions.
How to grade my students labs
An effective assessment should cover all the 3 domains of cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Lab assessments can be tough, as it can be time consuming as well as exhausting. Competency assessment tests performance more than the knowledge and we should make sure that we assess all the 3 following: 1. foundation skills, 2. technical skills, 3. professional skills. Rubric is an important tool and can help in better assessment.
In the course I teach, it requires constant evaluation, because the students are applying skills learned while performing what they have learned. The grading Rubic is a good for the student to see what the grading differences are and how to improve.
I can not agree more with Mr. Taylor
The instructor / teacher needs complete control and total understanding of the resources and task in the lab. If not no grading box chart in the world will help students get the proper feedback about their skills.
It will take some critical thinking to apply these new evaluation concepts to my competency assessments.

I have seen a Principal use the evaluation method of observable and measureable in my classroom evaluation and now I know where to build a good base to meet that expectation. Good topic for discussion. Can someone tell me a good rubric they use in their classroom?

The rubric is a great tool to help evaluate students learning
Consistency across faculty in the evaluation of students is essential. We must seek out and utilize tools (i.e Rubrics, Blooms Taxonomy) to maintain consistencty
The rubric is definitely a great tool to help with defining expectation/grading of clinical learning
Accomodating multiple learning styles may be challenging, yet rewarding when the application of knowledge is acheived.
Determine best courses to take in assessing students. Rubrics are a great tool in providing very clear guidelines for students to follow
Evaluation by a rubric allows the learner to maximize their potential.
I use a grading rubric to evaluate my students progress. It difinitely helps with the grading process and I haven't gotten questioned on why a specific grade was given.
Student progress is essencial, by using rubrics and having them do multible tasks their skills improve and their grade.
psychomotor, cognitive, and affective learing levels should be achived during the course duration.
