  • Defines what the target behavior or skill is and how to achieve it.​
  • Helps maintain instructional alignment with learning objectives.
  • Helps teachers be more accurate, objective, and unbiased in grading.
  • Informs students and parents of the expectations for the task.
SHAPE America Appropriate Practices
  • 4.2.2 Assessments include clearly defined criteria that are articulated to students as part of instruction before the assessment.

Additional Appropriate Practices:
  • Be flexible when evaluating (there may be more than 1 correct answer).

  • ​Expect to revise.

  • Set the top level as something challenging but achievable and set one level as the minimum cut score.
