Constructing Rubrics
When constructing rubrics think of:
- Content: The content of a rubric defines what to look for in a student’s product or performance to determine quality
- Clarity: The rubric is clear so teachers, students and scorers are likely to interpret the statements and standards of quality in the same way.
- Practicality: Practicality refers to understandability and ease of use (information for instructional decisions, tracking progress, improve achievement, etc)
- Technical Soundness/Fairness: The performance criteria adequately measure the goal being assessed. The performance criteria are developmentally appropriate for the students being assessed.
