Rubrics
What are rubrics?
Why use rubrics?
How do you create rubrics?

What Are Rubrics?Tools for teaching and assessing that . . .
List the performance categories for a piece of work (WHAT) . . .
And articulate levels of achievement or quality, from excellent to poor (HOW WELL) . . .
And provide criteria for each level of achievement or quality (HOW TO)
![Page 4: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Use Rubrics? Powerful tools for teaching and assessment
Help teachers articulate requirements
Make expectations clear – no surprises
Show students how to meet expectations
Allow students to monitor and improve performance
![Page 5: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why Use Rubrics? Allow students to judge work quality
Spot and solve problems in their own and others’ work = metacognition
Increase sense of responsibility for their own work = agency
Fewer “Am I done yet?" and “Is this good enough?” questions = judgment
![Page 6: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Use Rubrics? Reduce time spent evaluating student work
Front load teacher’s work
Circle an item in the rubric vs. struggling to explain the flaw or strength
Provide consistent feedback about student strengths and areas for improvement.
Allow ongoing assessment by student and peers
![Page 7: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why Use Rubrics? Accommodate heterogeneous classes
Gradations of quality can be "stretched" and adapted to reflect a range of student abilities
Students work to the rubric
Criterion referenced—all can succeed
![Page 8: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why Use Rubrics? Easy to explain to students and parents
Everyone knows what student needs to do to be successful
Allows students to articulate what they have learned
Students and parents understand how the grade was calculated
![Page 9: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How Do You Create Rubrics?
1. Look at models
2. List performance categories
3. Articulate levels of achievement or gradations of quality
4. Provide the criteria for each level of achievement or quality
5. Test and revise
![Page 10: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Step 1—Look at Models
Look at rubrics created by other teachers
Don’t re-invent the wheel—ADAPT!
Decide on a format that suits your needs
Looks at models of work created by students and decide what constitutes quality work—more powerful if done with students
![Page 11: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Step 2—List performance categories
With or without students, decide characteristics and features of a quality project
Decide on the level of complexity and specificity—form fits function
General Rule: 4-6 categories
![Page 12: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Step 3—Articulate Levels of Achievement or Gradations of Quality
Describe the best and worst levels of quality, then fill in the middle levels based on your knowledge of common problems and the discussion of “not-so-good” work
General Rule: 3-4 levels or gradations
![Page 14: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Step 4—Provide the criteria for each level of achievement or quality
Use clear and specific language
Beware of subjective terms, like “creative beginning” or “accurate measurement” unless you discuss or specify
Avoid unnecessarily negative language, like “boring” or “poor”

Step 5—Test and Revise
Give test versions to students and ask them to assess their own progress on the task or project
Solicit their feedback and improve the rubric--promptly
Make clear that they are part of this development phase—not graded yet
![Page 18: TLPI—03/26/07 Rubrics/All Classes 5:00-6:45 Nuts and Bolts 6:45-6:55 Ebony Eyes—revisions due 4/2 Lesson Plans—will return 4/2 Ethnographies—will return](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc51a28abf838ca6aa4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Step 6—Use it!
For student self assessment Allow students revise their work after
assessing themselves For peer assessment
Requires some coaching so students give each other specific and useful feedback
You may need to hold students accountable for their assessments of a classmate's work by having them sign off on the rubric they use.
For teacher assessment of student work

What is an Essential Question?
A question that lies at the heart of a subject, unit, or curriculum, and promotes inquiry and uncoverage of a subject.
Essential questions do not yield a single straightforward answer; they are open ended and produce different plausible responses.
An essential question should be overarching in scope.
