Using Rubrics for Performance-Based Assessment: A Practical Guide to Evaluating Student Work

by Todd Stanley

Writing a rubric that can accurately evaluate student work can be tricky. Rather than a single right or wrong answer, rubrics leave room for interpretation and thus subjectivity. How does a teacher who wants to use performance-based assessment in this day and age of educational data SMART goals find a way to reliably assess student work? The solution is to write clear rubrics that allow the evaluator to objectively assess student work. This book will show classroom teachers not only how to create their own objective rubrics, which can be used to evaluate performance assessments, but also how to develop rubrics that measure hard-to-assess skills, such as leadership and grit, and how to empower their own students to create rubrics that are tailored to their work.

the good and the bad

I found the book very well written, to the point and highly illustrative. I found what I was expecting and much more.
The problem was the low resolution of the example rubric text images. Some I simple could not make out, they were too fuzzy, which is a pity for the work of such a fine author.
