Description:

Developing a rubric seems simple until you sit down to do it. Then come the questions. What do I really want to know about my students’ performance? How do I articulate it? What do I put in all those little boxes? Is my rubric ‘good’? I’ve worked with faculty who have described building rubrics as tedious and others who describe it as fun. I’ve never heard anyone say it’s easy though. Join me for some practical tips and a chance to practice and ask questions as you learn to develop rubrics that will benefit faculty and students alike.


Participant Outcomes:

Participants will be able to:

  • Articulate how rubrics support teaching and learning 
  • Describe five characteristics of effective rubrics
  • Use two different methods to design rubrics
  • Evaluate the quality of rubrics
