Rubrics

• A rubric is a scoring guide for assessing student work.
• The rubric describes the criteria for each performance level.
• Rubrics are measuring tools that are usually tailor-made by the person doing the assessing.
• Rubrics can be either holistic or analytic in nature.
  • The holistic rubric focuses on the entire response; the assessor evaluates the work as a whole.
  • The analytic rubric is more like a checklist and looks at specific aspects of the response.
