One group did not meet expectations on every criterion, but even for that group the rubric was helpful. The rubric allowed both teacher and students to identify the one area (drawing and expressing conclusions that follow from the data) to work on. From this perspective, the rubric was helpful even for unsuccessful work because it furnished the information needed for the students' next steps. Welding Technology education is an important content area that is outside my own teaching background and experience.
