Looking for a way to motivate students to do their best work? Try this Effort Rubric to encourage students to fully complete their work. I’ve used a “Pizza Analogy” in my classroom for years to help my students understand the difference between Meeting Expectations (basic cheese pizza) and Exceeding Expectations (deluxe pizza). I have used it in classrooms ranging from 5-12th grade with great success. The “pizza analogy” can be applied to ANY subject and any type of assignment or project for almost all grade levels.

I loved overhearing my students talking about the “pizza toppings” they added to their work last year!

Posters come in two themes – White Background (for easy at home printing) or Chalkboard Theme (if you choose to print elsewhere). I also have both sets written as “You” Statments (You Did It!) and as “I” Statements (I Did It!)

Includes –

– Poster for each level of rubric (4)

– Bookmarks for easy student reference

– Mini-classroom poster of rubric

– “Top It Up” Poster or Student Reference Sheet

– 3 Rubrics – Self-Assessment, Peer-Assessment, and Teacher Use
