Rubrics in Art Class

 I asked my colleague Evan Haase to tell me more about the rubric he uses in art:

So in ceramics and jewelry, we do a checkpoint system that has the student submit 3 progress photos over the course of the project. For each progress photo, students assess whether or not their work is currently A,B,C,D level. They also reflect on areas they are doing well, areas they need to improve to move onto the next level. The rubrics are common and designed linearly but written more present tense rather than past tense as students are in the process of completing the assignment.

It helps them see where they are at and make a plan of attack for the next class to bump them to the next level.
