Rubrics are distinguished from other scoring tools, like checklists, because they outline levels of quality with descriptors. The main goal of a rubric is to define levels of quality and "publicise" these expectations to students, parents, and others. You can use events like a showcase to allow the greater community to provide input to your students and to celebrate their achievements.
