  1. Evaluating Student Writing through Rubrics Kara O’Keefe, UCI History Project Sara Jordan, Segerstrom High School

  2. Why Use Rubrics? • Consistency in Grading • Explicit Expectations for Students • Opens dialogue between teachers and students. • Less Time Spent Grading • Professional Development Opportunity • Opens dialogue between teachers.

  3. How to Use Rubrics • Select the rubric that meets the needs of the assignment. • Create anchor samples. • Select samples that represent high, medium and low. • Give specific examples from the sample writings that explain this scoring. • Begin norming the group.

  4. How to Norm teachers and students • Each person reads and assigns the sample a score. • Each person shares their score with the group. • The group leader records the scores on butcher paper, so readers see score discrepancies. • Readers explain their rationale for their scores starting with discrepancies. • Decide on score that everyone is comfortable with.

  5. Let’s Practice • Review the rubric. • Read the first two writing samples and assign a score for each sample. (on your own) • Share scores and rationale. • Decide on a score that everyone is comfortable with. • Finish reading the samples. • Work in small groups.

  6. Reflections • What worked? • Could this work in your classroom? • What would you change?
