GROUP 4: SCORING RUBRICS Flashcards
“is a coherent set of criteria for students’
work that includes descriptions of levels of performance
quality on the criteria.” (Brookhart, 2003).
Scoring Rubrics
a guide that
uses criteria to differentiate between levels of student
proficiency.
scoring rubric (McMillan)
a scoring procedure for judging students’ performance tests.”
scoring rubric (Popham)
Two major parts of scoring rubrics
- Coherent sets of criteria
- Descriptions of levels of performance for these criteria.
Why Include the Level of Performance? (3)
(CMB)
- Clearer Expectations.
- More consistent and objective assessment.
- Better feedback.
It articulates levels of
performance for each criterion so the teacher can
assess student performance on each criterion.
Analytic Rubric
assigns a level of performance by
assessing performance across multiple criteria as
a whole.
Holistic Rubric
When to choose an Analytic Rubric?
Analytic rubrics are more common because
teachers typically want to assess each criterion
separately, particularly for assignments that
involve a larger number of criteria. Additionally,
an analytic rubric better handles weighting of
criteria.
When to choose a Holistic Rubric?
Holistic rubric tends to be used when a quick or
gross judgement needs to be made.
Holistic rubric can also be employed for more
substantial assignments. On some tasks it is not
easy to evaluate performance on one criterion independently of performance on a different
criterion.
How many Levels of Performance Should I Includein my Rubric?
There is no specific number of levels a rubric
should or not possess. It will vary depending on
the task and your needs.
Generally, it is better to start with a smaller
number of levels of performance for a criterion
and then expand if necessary.

Desired Characteristics of Criteria for Classroom
Rubrics (ADODCA)
Appropriate
Definable
Observable
Distinct from one Another
Complete
Able to support descriptions along a continuum of quality
Each criterion represents
an aspect of a standard,
curricular goal, or
instructional goal or
objective that students are intended to learn.
Appropriate
Each criterion has a clear, agreed-upon meaning that both students and teachers understand.
Definable
Each criterion describes
quality in the performance
that can be perceived
(seen or heard usually) by
someone other than the
person performing.
Observable
Each criterion identifies a separate aspect of the
learning outcomes the
performance is intended
to assess.
Distinct from one
another
All the criteria together
describe the whole of the learning outcomes the performance is intended to assess.
Complete
Each criterion can be
described over a range of performance levels.
Able to support
descriptions along
a continuum of
quality
The basic steps in developing a scoring rubric:
Step 1: Identify the appropriate criteria to assess.
Step 2: For each criterion formulate the description of performance along a continuum of quality.
In Recitation Rubrics, the description of performance
per criterion along a continuum.
1, 2 and 3
Other than 1, 2. and 3, here are other descriptors used in scoring rubrics:
-Not meeting (standard), Approaching (standard),
-Meeting (standard), Exceeding (Standard)
-Exemplary, Proficient, Marginal, Unacceptable
-Advanced, intermediate High, intermediate, Novice
-Exceed expectation, meets expectation, doesn’t meet
expectation
They contain criteria that are general across
task that’s why they can be re-used.
General Rubrics
Unique to a specific task. You can use it as a reliable assessment of performance
on a specific task.
Task-Specific Rubric
Brookhart
(2013) explains the importance of rubrics and how it can ensure learning. What are those?
-Rubrics help teachers teach.
-Rubrics help students learn.
-Rubrics help coordinate instruction and
assessment.
