Components of a Rubric • Dimensions • Levels of performance • Criteria articulating gradations of quality for each dimension, and related to intended learning objectives
Optional Rubric Components • Comment section • Total column • Grading range for earned points • Reference to Standards/Performance Indicators • Weighted Dimensions
Rubric USE • For authentic/significant processes, performances, and products found in the real world • With student input during creation or editing • Before (Diagnostic), during (Formative) and after students work (Summative).
