KnowledgeBases > The Classroom Assessment KnowledgeBase > Element 3 > Activity 2 > Task 1: Establish the Scoring Rubric to be Used with the Assessment

Guideline:

Every assessment requires a scoring rubric. The rubric might be pre-existing, or the teacher might create one for a specific assessment.

Checklists Process for Writing Rubrics _EXTERNAL_LINK

This Rhode Island Department of Education brief summarizes the process for writing rubrics. It was adapted from the book Classroom Assessment for Student Learning: Doing It Right-Using It Well, authored by R. Stiggins, J. Arter, J. Chappuis, and S. Chappuis.

Tools RubiStar _EXTERNAL_LINK

As noted at its website, "RubiStar is a tool to help the teacher who wants to use rubrics but does not have the time to develop them from scratch. RubiStar provides generic rubrics that can simply be printed and used for many typical projects and research assignments. The unique thing about RubiStar, however, is that it provides these generic rubrics in a format that can be customized. The teacher can change almost all suggested text in the rubric to make it fit their own project."
