Using Data

 

The definition of the word rubric is: 

a heading of a part of a book or manuscript done or

underlined in a color (as red) different from the rest

name, title, title of a statute

an authoritative rule

    In education, we love to reinvent the wheel and then create a buzzword for it.

In educational jargon, the word rubric has taken on a whole new meaning. Most of us

think of a rubric as a chart with Performance levels across the top in columns and

Objectives or standards in the rows going down the side. We have a nice template

you can use.

    Creating rubrics for classroom instruction and assessment is a process.

If you involve your students in the process you are on your way to developing what

is called authentic assessment. See some of the links above to find sites that explain

the process of rubric development.
