What does the layout of a quality rubric look like?
Layout features are often overlooked when designing a rubric and they can go a long way towards improving the quality of a rubric. A good looking rubric isn't necessarily a quality one, but if layout features interfere with a students' ability to interpret a teacher's expectations, than a rubric will not be quality. Below are 7 items to consider when designing and laying out a rubric.
- The rubric is titled.
- There is space for a student name.
- The rubric is reader friendly.
- The font is readable.
- There is good use of white space.
- Grids, symbols or lines have been used to assist the user.
- A comment section allows for further feedback or self-notes. (optional)

* that are reader friendly with pictures, white space, and borders and lines
Examples of revised rubrics:
