A Scoring Rubric - Three Dimensions
A scoring rubric is an assessment tool with three dimensions:
- The first dimension involves a identifying a rating scale that describes levels of achievement. The rating scale may be numerical (using numbers to define a scale), qualitative (using words to describe levels), or both.
- The second dimension lists criteria for the assignment to be scored.
- The third dimension provides the description for each criteria and level within the rating scale. The criteria descriptions provide the standards defined for each performance level.
It is the combination of these dimensions that assists a scorer to define the level of a student’s performance.
Sample Rubrics
