Rubrics

A rubric is "a road map, telling students and teachers where to begin, where they're going, and how to get there." Dr. Kay Burke

What are rubrics?

A rubric is a scoring guide or a set of expectations used to judge student performance.
It measures a stated objective, using a range to rate performance.
Characteristics are arranged in levels, indicating the degree to which a standard has been met.
Rubrics are especially useful for assessing complex and subjective subjects.
They provide working guides for both teachers and students and are usually handed out before the assignment so that students know what is expected.

"How are you doing?"

How do I do it? What does it look like? How do I assess? How can I learn more? What is it?
