Creating and Using Rubrics for Evaluating Student Work

Prepared by: Helen JordanMathematics Coordinator

Rubrics are….

• A scoring guide;

• A framework that can be designed or adapted by the teacher for a particular group of students or for a particular task;

• A scale to judge performance on a single task;

• Used in conjunction with a criteria chart.

Why use a Rubric?

• Ease of providing feedback;• Gets the responsibility for judging off of the

teacher and on to the student;• Performance indicators describe what

work will look like at each level of the rubric;

• Students will have a clear understanding of the score they earned through teacher feedback.

When are Rubrics used?

Cumulative tasks– Tasks that incorporate several different skills

that have been taught over time and must be applied to successfully complete task.

When are Rubrics used?

Not purposeful for:– daily work assignments; – drill exercises;– any assignment assessing only one skill.

How are Rubrics Created?

It all begins with your expectations!

• What do you want the completed task to look like?

• How can the expectations be described in a way that students will understand what is expected of them? (performance indicator)

Criteria Chart

• A performance indicator that describes what is expected of student work when assignment is completed.

• The description(s) indicate proficiency.

Performance Indicators

The rubric has descriptions of student work at each level. These descriptions are called performance indicators.

Answers the question: “What can I do to get a ___?”

The student decides what they want and works to achieve it.
