Standards of Excellence
• Degrees of quality• Even number• Language or numbers• Weighting
![Page 12: What’s a Rubric?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5555015cb4c905c35e8b4a85/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Criteria
• The specific areas for assessment.
• Focus areas for instruction.• Clear and relevant.• Age appropriate.• Form and function represented.

Indicators
• Descriptors of level of performance for the criteria.
• Clear, observable language.• Clear to the learner.• Examples for learners.

Problems with current practice
• Consistency• Accuracy• Clarity• Utility• Power• Intent

The Whole is the Sum of Its Parts
• P = parts• W = whole• P + P + P = W
![Page 16: What’s a Rubric?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5555015cb4c905c35e8b4a85/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How do rubrics alter instruction?
• The teacher commits to teaching quality.• The teacher commits to assisting the
student self-assess.• The focus is on each product and/or
performance.• The labels are removed from students.• Specificity appears in all communications.• Everyone gives and receives feedback.
![Page 17: What’s a Rubric?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5555015cb4c905c35e8b4a85/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Whom does a rubric assist?
• It is a feedback system for students to judge a product or performance.
• It is a feedback tool for teachers to provide clear, focused coaching to the learner.
• It is a system that promotes consistent and meaningful feedback over time in a building and between buildings.
• It is a communication tool for parents.

Issues for implementation:
• Special populations.• Applications for teaching “criteria”.• Developmental rubrics.• First and second draft.• Consistency across
grades/departments.• Changing tasks.• Weighting for grades.• Report cards.

What makes a quality RUBRIC?
• Clear essential criteria.
• Realistic number of criteria.
• Explicit, observable indicators.
• If points… clear to students upfront.
• The sequence of criteria is deliberate.
• High interjudge reliability.
• Tested out with students.

Skills for Implementation• Knowledge and experience
with specific skill• Practice with rubric• Objectivity• Presentation of rubric in
advance to be sure all participants understand
![Page 22: What’s a Rubric?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5555015cb4c905c35e8b4a85/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How do I get started?
• Critique current models.• Ask students to define “quality” in
relation to specific product or performance.
• Translate into a modest rubric.
