Rubrics

• What is a rubric?
• A rubric defines the features of work that
• constitutes quality. It is the mechanism for
• judging the quality of student work.
• Why use a rubric?
• Teachers
• Rubrics are a good way to help teachers
  define complex learning targets and ensure that
  judgments about student work are consistent over
  time, between assignments, and with colleagues.
• Students
• Rubrics help students by orienting them to
  what it is they are expected to accomplish,
  efficiently leading them along the continuum from
  beginner to expert, and helping them be able to
  explain why products and performances they create
  are good or not.
