6 Steps to Create a Rubric • Decide what makes for a quality performance. Example: Workshop Presenter
6 Steps to Create a Rubric • Evaluate the qualities against the characteristics of the targeted level of proficiency.
6 Steps to Create a Rubric • Describe the performance that meets your expectations with specificity and clarity. Group & Categorize 1. Sticks to the topic, tells real stories, convinces with good evidence 2. Looks at the audience, does not read a script 3. Shares personal examples, hooks the audience, keeps it interesting, uses images to hold and focus interest
6 Steps to Create a Rubric • Describe the performance that exceeds your expectations and the performance that does not meet your expectations.
6 Steps to Create a Rubric • Pilot the rubric with different presenters and revise as needed.
6 Steps to Create a Rubric • Determine how you will communicate the results of your evaluation.
Providing Feedback to Build Proficiency How well does the feedback showcase what students can do well and what they need to work on to improve? How well does the feedback mechanism guide students to give their best performance (rather than just enough to get by, or to get an “A”)?
Providing Feedback to Build Proficiency What counts in evaluation? • Grammatical accuracy • Vocabulary choice • Translation of words • Pronunciation Answer: Depends on the Communication Mode!
Crafting Rubrics • Many options available • Commercially • Open source • Teacher-created Let’s take a look . . .
Crafting Rubrics • Take out the non-negotiables • Don’t just count It’s not about quantity; it’s quality! • Provide clear descriptors • Push students’ performance toward the next level (show what they could do)
Activity:Rubric DOs & DON’Ts – 1 of 2 • Read the letters written by students from abroad who are writing to introduce themselves to a potential host family. • Discuss these questions to prepare to provide feedback to help these students improve their performance: • What impression does each letter make? • How would you provide feedback to each student to help him or her improve? What counts?
Activity:Rubric DOs & DON’Ts – 2 of 2 • Place the rubric elements (on slips in the envelope at your table) into the following columns to indicate if they should be part of the rubric for the Presentational Writing Assessment
Converting Rubrics to a Grade Let’s do the math! 4 elements with a 3 – 2 – 1 scale: All 2s = 8/12 = 66.67% or a D
Converting Rubrics to a Grade Instead, begin with a completed product (language sample) at 50% and then add the rubric points as the quality: All 2s = 66% of the other 50% = 33.35 33.35 added to base of 50% = 83.5 or a B
Rubric Idea Swap That was just one example. There are many ways to calculate a rubric score. Share your ideas with each other here and on the wiki!
