Why Rubrics?

The Bottom Line

Contemporary forms of assessment provide effective links to instruction. Performance-based assessment is authentic and grounded in the real world in which students live. It connects teaching and learning in such a way that learning occurs simultaneously as students are completing the assessment. Rubrics serve an important role in creating assessment that is student-centered and standards driven. As educators, we are responsible to create assessment measures that will help students work toward higher levels of achievement!
