4. What is a rubric? Consensus Pair-Share
A rubric is a measurement tool that describes the criteria against which a performance, behavior, or product is compared and measures (University of Florida Institutional Assessment 2017).
A tool that measures student work directly against a set of concrete standards.
A tool that gives grades a definitive value.

5. Why Rubrics? Why use Rubrics in your room? . Focuses your teaching:
Helps unpack standards
Gives you a guide for daily mastery
Clarifies unit expectations for students
Students know what they need to master

6. Why Rubrics? Gives context to your instruction.
Breaks down a task to specific measureable parts.
Provides specific direction for students.
Reduces evaluation time
Can be used for formative as well as summative assessments

7. Rubric Types: Analytic v. Holistic
Analytic Rubric: An analytic rubric presents a description of each level of achievement for each criterion, and provides a separate score for each criterion.
Holistic Rubric: A holistic rubric presents a description of each level of achievement and provides a single score based on an overall impression of a student's performance on a task

8. Rubric Types: Analytic v. Holistic
Analytic rubrics give more objective quantitative information on student performance.
Holistic rubrics are generally less detailed and more subjective.
Story for illustration purposes only

9. When to use which Holistic: Analytic: Quick snapshot of learning
A good way to measure student participation
Analytic:
Assessing a large project with many pieces
Assessing something with specific measureable criteria

10. Constructing an effective rubric:
Use parallel language
Make sure your syntax corresponds, and is easily readable.
Use academic language
Make sure your language is student friendly
Make sure your fields are measureable
Ex. Instead of “used good sources” write “used three reliable sources”

11. Constructing an effective rubric:
Don’t overdo it.
Create enough domains and descriptors to satisfy what you are grading.
Don’t underdo it.

12. Constructing an effective rubric:
Use subcategories when necessary
A category like effective grammar might have subcategories that include spelling, subject-verb agreement
Give point values to subcategories
Assign point values that make sense
100 point rubrics are easiest

13. Creating effective rubrics:
Make sure you leave room for feedback.
Make sure you know what you want to grade.
Create your rubric to handle what you want to assess.
Unpack your standards so your rubric is an accurate reflection of what that student did or did not master.
