Workshop Outcomes • By the end of the workshop you are expected to: • Develop a deeper understanding of rubric design • Understand the relationship between interactive teaching and the use of rubrics • Describe basic principles of rubric design • Construct at least one rubric for use in your own classroom
Overview of the Workshop • Discussion of rubrics • Theoretical overview • Specific examples of rubrics • Write a rubric for your own discipline • Review and questions
Rubrics Discussion • What does the word “rubric” mean to you? • Are you currently using rubrics in your teaching? If so, how? • What obstacles do you see in using rubrics? • What would you like to learn about rubrics?
Rubric • A rubric is a form of assessment that evaluates student performance based on specific criteria known to both student and teacher • Should be handed out before the assignment • Criteria may vary based on the expertise of the student
Theoretical Background:Levels of Understanding • Knowledge guides performance • Both knowledge and performance can be assessed precisely • Four levels of understanding (Wiske, 1998): • Beginning • Developing • Apprentice • Expert
Beginning Understanding • Knowledge based on personal experience • Knowledge construction viewed as unproblematic • Application of knowledge is not considered • Non-reflective
Developing Understanding • Partially examined knowledge and surface level analysis • Knowledge construction is mechanistic and step by step • Validation of knowledge is based on external authority
Apprentice Level • Performances of understanding grounded in disciplinary knowledge • Construction of knowledge complex • Relationship between disciplinary knowledge and outside life
Expert Level • Understanding is integrative, creative and critical • Construction of knowledge is driven by conflicting frameworks and worldviews • Learner is able to combine disciplines in their tasks
Types of Rubrics • Rubric Template • Written Report Rubric • Projects Rubric • Classroom Performance Rubric • Oral Presentation Rubric • Portfolio Rubric

Parts of a Rubric • Learning Objectives or Concepts to be included in the Assignment • Criteria • Develop a grid • Share the Rubric with all students before they begin assignment • Evaluate student work with the rubric to determine content has been mastered.
Implementation • Find a partner in your discipline and develop a rubric
