Oh yay - this is my first time using edulists - lovely to get responses so quickly.

Jan - our context is Encountering Conflict

Kathy - you make me laugh (when I need to most!), thank you.  Interesting that there are other options, I didn't realise. I think I prefer the holistic approach, I tend to fall back on that when the rubric doesn't seem to be working for me!

Hi everyone

I'm new to teaching Year 12 and still have that lost-but-learning feeling!

One of the most daunting aspects of this year has been SAC marking.  I still feel rather confused about exactly what I'm looking for (particularly in C&P) and was wondering whether anyone has some really strong rubrics they could send through, for all areas of study.

Cheers
Micaela

Micaela,
Ahhh?.you've opened up another can of worms?.we've had constant discussions of how best to assess Yr 12; should we use rubrics? Should we use assessment criteria? Should we mark holistically ? as many PDs seem to advise?
We settled on assessment criteria, but they have their limitations, as they can't possibly cover ALL the items in the holistic assessment.
What do others do?

Yes, it's a tough gig being a senior English teacher ? but it will only take you 10 years to feel comfortable ? then the rest of your career to continue to doubt yourself?but that's how it has to be. Personally, if I ever feel as though I have it all worked out, it's the time when something or someone will come along to challenge that, and make me re-think everything all over again. I think that's healthy, though. Good on you for taking it on.
