Rubrics are scoring tools with pre-established criteria that specify the level of quality for a performance on an assessment.  The purpose of rubrics are to:
  • Define what the target behavior or skill is and how to achieve it.
  • Inform students and parents of the expectations for the task.
  • Help teachers be more accurate, objective, and unbiased in grading.
  • Help maintain instructional alignment with learning objectives.

  • Reliability: the degree of consistency or repeatability of a rubric. In other words, if two different teachers assessed the same student using the same rubric, they should have the same score.
  • Validity: the degree to which one measures what they intend to measure. Does the assessment match the learning objectives?
  • 4.2.2 Assessments include clearly defined criteria that are articulated to students as part of instruction before the assessment.

Guidelines
  • Use standards as guidelines and include benchmarks or exemplars.
  • Be flexible when evaluating (there may be more than 1 correct answer).
  • Set the top level as something challenging but achievable and set one level as the minimum cut score.
  • ​Expect to revise.
TYPES OF RUBRICS WITH EXAMPLES
  • Checklist: Lists the critical elements of a skill; Focuses on the presence of criteria but does not assess quality.
  • Point System: Similar to checklists except that point values are given for the presence of a criterion.
  • Qualitative Analytic Rating Scale:  Assesses the quality of the criterion using descriptions.
  • Quantitative Analytic Rating Scale: Assesses the quality of the criterion using numbers.
  • Holistic: Describes all the characteristics for each level of performance.
  • Single Point: ​Provides 1 thing to improve and 1 thing that was done well for each criteria.
