Abstract

Ten secondary language arts students enrolled in a rural Midwest school participated in this study. The purpose of the study was to determine if using rubrics with secondary language arts students improved academic achievement in the area of writing. Students completed three specific writing assignments using a grading rubric. The researcher evaluated the writing assignments based on the rubric and recorded grades to determine if writing scores improved. Results indicated that half of the students improved academic achievement in the area of writing when using rubrics, while the other half maintained their same scores from the beginning of the study to the end.
