This is not an easy task! Essential questions, and that there is a huge difference between factual knowledge and understanding. So now what? I think that somebo...

First, I want to discuss UbD assessments and second, I want to discuss an idea that my UbD group is discussing in class and a related article that I read this weekend. March 2, 2008 at 5:34 PM. I think rubrics are a great idea. I made a couple myself and find it to be not only helpful when grading a project, but also for the students to refer to when self evaluating themselves.
