Why Use Rubrics? Provide timely feedback Prepare students to use detailed feedback Encourage critical thinking Facilitate collaboration and communication with others Consistency! Help us refine teaching skills Level the playing field 3
What are the Parts of a Rubric? Task Description: 4
Rubric Components Task Description Cut and pasted from syllabus Reminder to ourselves as we grade Grabs students attention Here comes the grading!

Last level indicates what might have been accomplished but has not 6
Two Types of Rubrics Three to Five Level Rubrics Circle text Check boxes Most time consuming to make Fastest to use Scoring Guide Rubrics Designed to give narrative, specific feedback Easiest to create Most time consuming to grade (particularly with weaker students) 7
Creating Rubrics Stage 1: Reflecting Please complete pgs 2-3 in you packet Stage 2: Listing and Matching Please complete pg 4 in your packet Stage 3: Grouping Pg 4
Creating Rubrics (Continued) Stage 4: Application Begin with your highest level first Scoring guide? You’re finished! Three to five level: Work from the outside in Middle will be most difficult
Scoring Consistent Performance Anchors Detailed, Formative Feedback Three to five level rubrics with boxes Three to five level rubrics with circled text Individualized, Flexible Feedback Scoring guide rubrics Summative Feedback and Grades Quantify dimensions? Danger of fighting over points Before rubrics, it was narrative and a grade Holistic judgments
