Rule #1: Don’t make rubrics for no reason. Use only for complex, rich measurement Use only if students will use rubrics as tools to develop their abilities – to self-assess and get better Use only to define quality
Compare and Contrast or the rest is futile • Directions • Checklist • Rating Scale • Rubric
Rubrics and Scoring Criteria can be… • Holistic • Trait-analytic • Weighted • Critical Domain
Standards-based Assignment-based Generic Genre-specific Longitudinal Subject specific Rubrics can be designed to be..
Rubric Language…. • Levels • Absolute standard • Anchors • Empirical Descriptors • Comparative Descriptors • Parallel construction • Exemplars
Dr. Wiggins says….. • Good Rubrics…. • Discriminate among performances validly • Do not combine criteria in domains • Provide useful description • Are valid • Are reliable • Rely on descriptive language
Dr. Wiggins also says…. • Good rubrics • Do not mandate • Process • Format • Methods or approach • Good rubrics do not rely on orthodoxy or taste, and they are not built based on mediocrity, and they do not reward “good faith/effort.”
What’s the difference? • Between trait-analytic and holistic? • Use holistic for the work as a whole • Use trait analytic when each component can be separately addressed • Between weighted and critical domain? • Use weighted when each domain is of different importance • Use critical domain if each is essential
Good Rubrics • Clear to user • Distinct differences between criteria • Fair and Accurate • Do not define what should not be done • Never use negative terms…not quite, not always, only part of the time…
Bad Rubrics • Count • Use irrelevant criteria • Dictate format • Use good, better, best… • Aim to enable good grades regardless of quality
Building Rubrics • Decide what is important • Decide what standard-level looks like • Decide what acceptable looks like
The Rest is up to you…… • The Rest is up to you……
