Immediately Applicable Teaching Resources: Participation, Reflective Writing, and Final Project Rubrics

Marcia Eames-Sheavly (Cornell University), has been gracious enough to share the rubrics that support her community-engaged course in Garden-Based Learning in Belize. Applicable to courses across disciplines, content areas, and locations, are her:

• Reflective Writing Guidelines
  
• Class Participation Rubric, which includes insightful guidance for students like:
  • Diplomatically prompt us to examine the dynamics involved in the group process.

  • If you think it is appropriate, ask the group for a pause to slow the pace of conversation or activity to give you, and others, time to think/process, especially during our travel time.

  • Make a comment that at least partly paraphrases a point someone has already made.

• Final Project Rubric
• Garden-Based Learning Activity Rubric

All of these resources have been uploaded in Word form, so you can easily adapt them to your own courses. Many thanks to Marcia!
