4. Rubrics  Specifically state the criteria for evaluating student work  Are more specific, detailed, and disaggregated than a grade and can help students to succeed before a final grade  Can be created from  Language in assignments  Comments on students’ papers, or  Handouts intended to help students complete an assignment

5. Development Steps  Identify what you are assessing (e.g., critical thinking, writing, process, participation)  Identify the characteristics/behavior of what you are assessing (e.g., presenting, problem- solving)  Decide what kind of scales you will use to score the rubric (e.g. checklists, numerical, qualitative, or numerical-qualitative)  Describe the best work you could expect using these characteristics: top category  Describe the worst acceptable product using these characteristics: lowest category

6. More Steps  Develop descriptions of intermediate-level products and assign them to intermediate categories:  1-5: unacceptable, marginal, acceptable, good, outstanding  1-5: novice, competent, exemplary  Other meaningful set  Test it out with colleagues or students by applying it to some products or behaviors and revise as needed to eliminate ambiguities

7. Rubric Tips  Develop the rubric with your students  Use same rubric that was used to grade  Use examples to share with students, so they can begin to understand what excellent, good, and poor work looks like  Have students grade sample products using a rubric to help them understand how they are applied  In a peer-review process, have students apply the rubric to eachother’s work before submitting it for official grading

8. Benefits  Allows assessment to be more objective and consistent  Focuses instruction to clarify criteria in specific terms  Clearly shows the student how their work will be evaluated and what is expected  Promotes student awareness of about the criteria to use in assessing peer evaluation
