The Art and Science of Rubrics
- Rubrics are both an art and a science, balancing reliability with professional judgment.
- They offer qualifiable data, reduce bias, and reflect educational values.
Gradations of Quality
- Good rubrics focus on gradations of quality, not learning progressions.
- All levels should assess the same skill, not different stages of completion.
Task Neutrality
- Make rubrics task-neutral, focusing on transferable learning, not specific assignments.
- This allows feedback to be applicable across various tasks.
