Important Elements of Rubrics.
1. Criteria
• One or more traits or dimensions that serve as the basis for judging the student response.
• Definitions and examples to clarify the meaning of each trait or dimension.
2. Levels of Performance
• A scale of values on which to rate each dimension.
3. Descriptors
• It spells out what is expected of students at each level of performance for each criterion.
• It tells students more precisely what performance looks like at each level and how their work may be distinguished from the work of others from each criterion.
• Descriptors help the teacher more precisely and consistently distinguish between student works.
Purpose:
• Help learners develop their ability to judge quality in their own and others' work.
• Provides specific feedback about areas of strength and weakness.
• Learners can use rubrics to assess their own effort and performance before submitting it.
• Learners and teachers monitor progress over a period of instruction.
• Reduces time spent grading.
• Engaging students in the design empowers them.
• Moves away from subjective grading
