2. Why Create a Rubric They Help Clarify the Key Aspects!
(McKeachie, W. J., Svinicki, M. D., & Hofer, B. K. ,2011; Selke, M. J. G.,2013)
Rubrics Increase Grading Reliability!
It Stress Learning over Grades!
(Bain, K. ,2004)
It Communicates Ideas
(Bain, K. ,2004; Selke, M. J. G.,2013)
It Provides Progress Reports

3. Kinds of Rubrics Performance / Process Product / Artifact
Designed to assess a skill or set of skills
Dance recital, Band Performance, etc…
Does not produce a tangible product without the use of a camera
Designed to assess a tangible product
a Paper, a Piece of Art , Report, etc…
The key elements/criteria must be identified

4. Categories of Rubrics Holistic Analytic
Designed to asses more than one element/component per strand/criteria
The key elements/criteria must be identified, but are then grouped together
Designed to asses one and only one element/component per strand/criteria
The key elements/criteria must be identified

5. This will be demined by several factors
Designing Rubrics
How Many Criteria
Example
This will be demined by several factors
The type of Rubric (Holistic vs. Analytic)
What type of feedback do you wish to provide
Start with the Standards! (Christ, W. G.,1994)
Criteria
Eye Contact
Vocal Projection
Vocal Inflection
Thesis
Content
Organization
Language
Sources
Time

6. Designing Rubrics Start with the Standards! (Christ, W. G.,1994)
TBR Evaluation of Speech Communication Outcomes
Students are able to distill a primary purpose into a single, compelling statement. (Thesis)
Students are able to order major points in a reasonable and convincing manner based on that purpose. (Organization)
Students are able to develop their ideas using appropriate rhetorical patterns (e.g., narration, example, comparison/contrast, classification, cause/effect, definition). (Content)
Students are able to employ correct diction, syntax, usage, grammar, and mechanics. (Language)
Students are able to manage and coordinate basic information gathered from multiple sources. (Sources)

7. Designing Rubrics How Many Levels of Evaluation!
It really is determined by Several factors
The type of rubric (Holistic vs. Analytic)
What type of feedback do you wish to provide?
What do you intend to do with the rubric?
Criteria
