Rubrics

The aim of a rubric is to provide a clear outline of the learning intentions of an assessment task as well as defining the different levels of comprehension and understanding.

They are a key way to build consistent understandings of assessment quality and standards for you, your teaching team and your students.

Designing rubrics

When designing rubrics, you should:

• ensure assessment criteria align with the Subject Intended Learning Outcomes (SILOs) and specific task requirements
• assign appropriate weightings for criteria
• write meaningful standard descriptions which make clear distinctions between levels of achievement or performance
