Rubrics

• Rubrics are detailed scoring guides that outline criteria and performance levels.

• Rubrics are designed specifically to provide detailed descriptions of performance levels across various criteria used to assess student work. 

• They are scoring guides that outline clear expectations for different levels of achievement (e.g., "excellent," "good," "developing," "needs improvement") for each specific criterion.

  • For example, a rubric for an essay might have criteria like "organization," "argument development," and "grammar," with detailed descriptions for what constitutes "excellent," "good," or "poor" performance in each area.
