SCORING RUBRIC
Definition
A scoring tool that lays out the specific expectations for an assessment
task (Stevens & Levi, 2005)
A set of clear explanations or criteria used to help teachers and students
focus on what is valued in a subject, topic, or activity (Russell, & Airasian,
2012).
Components of a rubric:
Criteria/Indicator
aspects of an assessment task which the assessor takes into account when
making their judgment
May use different weightings for different criteria
Level of Attainment
often use grade level descriptors
Types of rubrics:
Descriptive (Analytic), Holistic
Why and when we use particular types of rubrics
WHY USE RUBRICS?
Well defined
Clearly describe the expected level of student performance for
each criterion in a rubric
Avoid general evaluative words (poor, excellent, etc.)
Use specific objective terms (correctly identifies, uses only
basic vocabulary, chooses incorrect formula… )
Context specific
Describe what teachers expect from student for a given
performance or work product on a particular subject domain
Viable for instruction

4 Extended not only include all relevant pieces of information, but also
extend the response to integrate relevant pieces of
