Tips for Writing a Quality Rubric

Page history last edited by LCI, Ltd. 12 years, 7 months ago
  • Write the next to top level first, using the standards (Level 3 on a four level rubric).

 

  • Focus on describing, not evaluating. Rubrics are about quality not quantity.

  

  • When describing content, the following criteria will help:
    • accuracy,
    • specificity,
    • and use of example relevancy completeness / thoroughness

 

  • When describing skills across levels, think about simple, easy-to-master skills for lower levels and more complex, difficult skills for upper levels. Students at lower levels may be able to show use of simple skills but not more difficult ones. Students at upper levels may be better able to combine skills for complex processes.

 

  • The various levels of thinking may help to write across levels in some rubrics. Often students at lower levels are more concrete, while students who exceed expectations exhibit thinking at higher levels.

 

  • Always get another perspective on your rubric – others will see things that you do not. A peer review almost always improves a rubric.

 

  • Engage students in the rubric-development process as early as possible. 

 

  • Success isn't defined as having a perfect rubric. Do not try and write a perfect rubric. That's impossible. Instead, try to develop a rubric that enables learner to self-assess the quality of their work and facilitates a conversation between learner and teacher around quality.
