TRANSCRIPT
In the real world, when we evaluate things, we talk about the specifics of what is right and what is wrong. A baseball coach doesn’t say to his player, “You earned a B today.” He says, “You took your eye off the ball today. You need to concentrate more. You need to change your stance.” The real world is built around giving feedback and showing people what they need to do to improve. And yet in schools, we hand out single-letter grades and think nothing of it.
Designing Rubrics
As assessment tool that measures levels of student
achievement on performance tasks.

Purpose of Evaluation
• Self evaluative students!• Need methods for self evaluation• How to use critizque for self improvement• How to give feedback• How to receive feedback• How to revise their work based on
feedback

What is a rubric?
• A scoring guide designed to provide constructive feedback to students by helping them think more clearly about the characteristics of quality work
• Show how important elements of a task would look in a progression from less well developed to exceptional along a continuum

• Define expectations for a learning task• Assign values to each level of quality• Communicate not just the “what” of a
learning task, but also the “how well”

Guidelines for Creating Rubrics
• Use specific numbers (2,3) instead of vague words (some, many)
• Use specific descriptors (original, novel, vivid” rather than “good, excellent”
• Arrange scores on a continuum for 1-4
• Use the score of “3” to show students meeting standards
• Score of “4”= students exceeding standards by doing exceptional work
• State clear expectations for work so that all teachers, students, and parents know the criteria for quality and the requirements for earning a grade.

2 Types of Rubrics
• Holistic Rubrics– Rating scale– Wide range of
descriptors– One performance
expectation at each numerical level
– Product evaluated as a whole & given a single score
• Analytical Rubrics– Use multiple descriptors
for each criterion– Points awarded on a
criterion by criterion basis– “teaching rubrics”
Why Rubrics?
• Provides specific feedback- descriptive• Students can improve the quality of their
work• Guide students through the learning
process• Allow students to evaluate their work• Plan, revise, edit

Creating your Analytical Rubric
• Start with “Meets the Standard”• What indicates going above and beyond?• What indicates being almost there?• What indicates below expectations?
• For next time, cover, student direction sheet, student checklist, rubric,
