Rubrics are one tool for collecting assessment and evaluation data.
Rubrics are designed to assist in assessing student performance and may address several criteria. Rubrics parallel the categories and levels of the Achievement Chart and are written to assess student achievement of specific learning expectations. The assignment of numeric value to student achievement is an important last step. This evaluation is facilitated by clearly stated assessment criteria, and by providing varied ways for students to demonstrate their learning. It provides balance in addressing all four categories indicated on the Achievement Chart and in using diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment, as appropriate.
