Workshop Outcomes
Workshop participants will
• Become familiar with rubric definition and structure• Identify criteria that warrant creating and using rubrics• Review and analyze several examples of rubrics• Identify the four stages of rubric development • Use strategies and stages to develop a rubric for course
participation• Consider ways of integrating Bacc Core Learning Outcomes into
rubrics for Bacc Core classes• Consider ways of involving students in the rubric development
process• Discuss ways in which rubrics can facilitate opportunities for
classroom assessment and vice versa

You may need a rubric if…
• You often get behind in grading• Students complain that your comments are illegible• You are developing wrist and hand cramps from writing the
same comments on student papers• You sometimes worry that the assignments at the bottom of
the stack were graded differently from those at the top • Despite giving long descriptions of assignments in the
syllabus, students routinely ask several questions in class about your expectations

You may need a rubric if…
• Despite collaborating with colleagues to develop courses or assignments, you suspect your grading scales differ
• You regularly find yourself talking with Writing Center or other tutorial services staff because neither tutors nor students understand your assignments
• You’ve been disappointed more than once because most students in the class prove unaware of expectations so basic that you didn’t feel the need to mention them
• Despite your concerted effort to explain a complex assignment, students complain that your expectations are vague, mysterious, or impossible to fulfill

Creating the first rubric
Is it worth the time?
![Page 8: Developing and Using Rubrics](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681636f550346895dd44c36/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why use rubrics?
• Timely feedback• Experience using detailed feedback• Enhanced opportunities for critical thinking about work• Enhanced communication with GTAs, tutors, and other
academic success colleagues• Resource for honing teaching skills• Level playing field

4 Stages of Rubric Construction
Reflecting
Listing
Grouping and Labeling
Application

Stage 1: Reflecting
8 Questions
1) Why did you create the assignment?2) Have you given this before?3) How does it relate to the rest of what you’re teaching?4) What skills will students need to have or develop to successfully
complete this?5) What exactly is the task assigned?6) What evidence will demonstrate they have accomplished what
you’d hoped they would?7) What are your highest expectations for student performance on
this?8) What is the worst fulfillment of the assignment you can
imagine?

Stage 2: Listing
• What specific learning objectives will be accomplished by completing the assignment?
• List the Highest Expectations for each learning objective.
![Page 14: Developing and Using Rubrics](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681636f550346895dd44c36/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stage 3: Grouping and Labeling
• Group similar performance expectations and create labels for each group.
• Uses list of highest performance expectations.
![Page 15: Developing and Using Rubrics](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681636f550346895dd44c36/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Stage 4: Application
• Transfer lists and groupings to grid.• Groups of performance expectations move to left column.• Learning and task objectives move into descriptions of highest
level of performance• If creating a scoring guide, process ends here.

Rubrics and Classroom Assessment
Scenario: Suppose 25% or more of your students earn scores of 2 or 1 in most categories for their first assignments.
What questions does this raise re: future success?How could you assess to identify the problem(s)?What are you prepared to do or change in response to the assessment data?

Rubrics 102
• Clarify dimension categories
• Develop and refine performance descriptions
• Connect terms in rubric to assignment/activity description
• Map out activities to reinforce learning outcomes throughout course
