This rubric is on a 4 x 6 card with the 3 elementary art grading categories on it. Satisfactory behavior and production goals are listed in the center with the equivalent "outstanding" or "needs improvement" descriptions to the left and right with check boxes. Everyone starts the year as "satisfactory" and they can earn an outstanding mark or needs improvement mark anytime they come to art. I keep the printed cards on hand and use them anytime a student demonstrates behaviors or production activities that are above or below satisfactory. I check the appropriate box, verbally let the student know about the mark and keep the card in my grading book. If a student accumulates 3 in one category (behavior or production) I give them the equivalent grade in that category. I also notify the classroom teacher if a student is moving close to a "needs improvement" mark on their 9 week report card so that we can notify their parents in advance.
