A Workshop by Kenneth Ronkowitz
Rubrics provide a powerful tool for grading and assessment that can also serve as a transparent and inspiring guide to learning. Rubrics have been used to increase transparency and accountability across K-12 and higher education, and in corporate and government settings.
Rubrics are a printed set of scoring guidelines (criteria) for evaluating work (a performance or a product) and for giving feedback. Generally, they are put in the form of a chart with an x and y axis of performance criteria and a evaluative range or scale.
There are a number of ways to categorize rubrics. One simple distinction is the holistic versus analytic rubric. A holistic rubric has one global, holistic rating for a behavior. This differs from an analytic rubric which has separate, holistic ratings of specified characteristics of a behavior.
