John Hattie explains Why students need an exemplar and Rubric
Exemplars and Rubrics:
Provide success criteria to students at the beginning of the assignment instead of at the end of the assignment
Allow students to monitor and participate in their own learning
Bring consistency and alignment to the teaching and learning processes
Correlate to the priority standards
Allow students to succeed

Mastery Learning
Students need to know the expectations for mastery. The teacher needs to provide quality teaching, follow-up with conferences, high quality materials, and the time for students to be able to interact with the content to reach mastery. A rubric is a way to set the expectations and allow students to know what is expected at the level of mastery for the assigned task.
Worked Examples
Students also need to have an example of what mastery will look like. Examples help students to be able to see the expectations. Students can return to the examples if they have questions with the task. Examples help students to problem solve and move forward with their work on the independent level.
