 * How to Create a Rubric **



__Holistic Rubrics __
 * Holistic vs. Analytical **

A holistic rubric grades the entire piece with one score.





__Analytical Rubrics __

These are rubrics that include all criteria for the standard, provide descriptors for each

criterion, and score each descriptor separately.

These are often referred to as "teaching rubrics" because they provide specific feedback that

pinpoints students' strengths and weaknesses in all aspects on a performance task.

There components are critical components of formative classroom assessment, providing

guidance "real fast" and in "real time" so that students can improve their work.

Most importantly, students can assess their own work immediately, without waiting for

the teacher's input.

For rubrics with four columns of descriptors, column three should be average work and

column four should be exceptional.

<span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">The rubric should be lined up so that the lowest score possible is on the left side (read first)

<span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">so that lower scoring students can see that they are capable of doing the work and will put

<span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">forth effort rather than just seeing what exemplary work looks like, knowing they

<span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">can't/won't achieve it.

<span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">Rubrics should have an even number of columns so that teachers will not select the

 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">Language of the Standards (LOTS) **
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">The descriptors for the different levels in the rubrics should specifically match the task and incorporate as much of the LOTS and benchmarks as possible.
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">Students are formally tested using the LOTS, so teachers need to use those same terms in the classroom every day.
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">Those same terms should remain consistent as students' progress through the various grade levels.
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">Consistency **
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">One of the challenges of using rubrics is maintaining consistency.
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">Use your planning partner, grade level counterparts, and/or departments to help you develop rubrics when applicable.
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">The consistency of the rubric structure helps ensure more validity and reliability throughout the grade level, content area, and school.
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">It is unfair to the students to receive a 4 in one class and a 3 in another class when they do the same work, which is why we need to be consistent


 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">Scoring Rubrics **
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">Most Rubrics include a column on the right-hand side for recording a score for the student's performance on each evaluative criterion. The score is usually the same as the level the students achieves on the criterion.
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">Many times, teachers consider some criteria in a rubric to be instructionally critical than others. It is possible to weight the criteria to reflect their relative importance.
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">The multiplier is displayed in the "Score" column, so that the teacher writes the initial score (Level achieved), multiplies it, and arrives at the weighted score.
 * <span style="color: #ff5700; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">The score column also indicated the maximum number of points possible for each criterion.
