performance based on the sum of a full range of criteria
rather than a single numerical score.
A rubric is a working guide for students and teachers,
usually handed out before the assignment begins in
order to get students to think about the criteria on
which their work will be judged.
Rubrics can be analytic or holistic, and they can be
created for any content area including math, science,
history, writing, foreign languages, drama, art, music,
etc...
4. A rubric is an explicit set of criteria used for
assessing a particular type of work or

7. focus on measuring a stated objective
(performance, behavior, or quality)
use a range to rate performance
contain specific performance characteristics

9. ADVANTAGES
Teachers can increase the quality of their direct
instruction by providing focus, emphasis, and
attention to particular details as a model for students.
Students have explicit guidelines regarding teacher
expectations.
It clearly shows what criteria must be met for a
student to achieve a desired mark.
10. Students can use rubrics as a tool to develop
their abilities
Teachers can reuse rubrics for various activities.
Force clarification of success in the classroom,
establishing clear benchmarks for achievement
14. Have students look at models of good versus
“not-so-good” work
List the criteria to be used in the rubric and allow for
discussion of what counts as quality work.
Articulate gradations of quality.
Practice on models
15. Ask for self and peer-assessment
Revise the work based on that
feedback
Use teacher assessment
17. 1. A rubric must include specific description
that spell out each level of achievement.
2. The description must be listed in parallel
fashion.
3. Writing should be in descending level of
achievement.
1. A rubric must include specific description
that spell out each level of achievement.
19. For a beginner, start simply with a
three-level rubrics.
Determine which areas are to be evaluated,
e.g: content, procedure, process.
The type of rubric you are going to
use is based on instructional goals.
