  1. SHOW US YOUR RUBRICS A FACULTY DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP SERIES Material for this workshop comes from the Schreyer Institute for Innovation in Learning

  2. Presenters Mary Lynn Brannon, IDS, Worthington Scranton mlb9@psu.edu, 963-2654 Jackie Ritzko, IDS, Hazleton jmc14@psu.edu, 450-3014

  3. Rubric Questions • What is a rubric? • Systematic scoring guideline • What does a rubric help you do? • Evaluate student’s performance • How does a rubric work? • Uses a detailed description of performance standards

  4. Questions Rubrics Help Answer • What criteria should be used to judge performance • What does successful performance look like? • How are levels of quality described and distinguished from each other

  5. How do Rubrics Enhance Student Learning? • If students know the performance expectations ahead of time, they will be more motivated to reach those standards • By involving students in the construction of rubrics, the assignment will be more meaningful to students

  6. Why use rubrics? • To provide consistent scoring across all students • To provide students with greater awareness of performance expectations • To improve student performance

  7. What Could a Rubric Contain? • Scale of points • Descriptors for performance levels

  8. Types of Rubrics – General • Contain criteria that are general across tasks • Advantage • same rubric can be used across different tasks • Disadvantage • feedback may be too general

  9. What Type of Rubric works best for your purposes? General • Assess reasoning, skills, products • Student tasks differ

  10. General or Generic Rubric

  11. Types of Rubrics – Holistic • Single score based on overall impression of performance on a task • Advantages • quick scoring, overview • Disadvantages • detailed information not provided

  12. What Type of Rubric works best for your purposes? Holistic • Single dimension adequate to define quality • Quick snapshot of achievement • May want to use for minor assignments • Also use for assignments where criteria are interdependent

  13. Holistic Rubric for Assessing a Project “A”: All project goals fully explained. Demonstrates clear thinking. Work complete and accurate. “B”: Project goals substantially achieved. Good understanding of concepts.May contain minor misunderstanding of content, errors, some weaknesses. “C”: Goals partially achieved. Limited grasp of ideas and requirements. Some work incomplete and/or unclear. “D”: Little progress toward accomplishing project goals.Either lack of understanding and/or effort.

  14. Types of Rubrics –Task specific • Unique to a specific task • Advantage • more reliable assessment • Disadvantage • difficult to construct rubrics for all tasks

  15. What Type of Rubric works best for your purposes? Task Specific • Assess knowledge • Scoring consistency is critical

  16. Task-Specific Rubric

  17. Types of Rubrics – Analytic • Provide specific feedback along several dimensions • Advantages • detailed feedback • consistent scoring across students and graders • Disadvantages • time consuming to score

  18. What Type of Rubric works best for your purposes? Analytic • Relative strengths and weaknesses • Detailed feedback • Assess complicated skills or performance • Student self-assessment of understanding or performance

  19. Analytic Rubric for Assessing a Research Project

  20. Making the Choice • What are the central features? • Does the rubric “fit” student work? • Does the rubric “fit” your work • efficiency vs. effectiveness. • Is it useful to teacher and student? • Does the rubric address teaching goals and intended instructional outcomes? • “Steal” from friends, colleagues, web sites. • Be creative, mix/match, combine rubrics. • Expect adjustments and redesign.

  21. Involving Students in Rubric Development • Clearly define the assignment • Give guidelines on how to create a rubric • Provide key components of assignment • Suggest type of rubric to create

  22. Involving Students in Rubric Development • Work in teams or as a whole class • Teams • Use team based rubrics • Class discussion to reach consensus on selecting one rubric for all

  23. Involving Students in Rubric Development • Ease development • Provide examples of rubrics • Provide a template • Examples of previous student work • Alternative to creating rubrics • Ask for feedback on or add more detail to existing rubrics

  24. Wrap Up • Assessment • Handouts • Evaluation
