Design and Deliver a Rubric

2. Step 2 - Pick your Rubric

You now need to choose a rubric. Refer to the book chapter "This and That" in the previous phase to learn about the different kinds of rubrics. 

• Are you primarily using the rubric to score performance fairly, like a cheat-sheet for yourself? If so, choose a holistic rubric or a simple marking guide.
• Are you hoping to provide guidance to students about what constitutes quality performance in advance of them completing the task? A analytical rubric might be better.
• Do you want to design a frame for giving feedback? Perhaps a single-point rubric is the best choice.

Identifying your intention will help you decide which rubric to choose. You could also ask your students what kind would serve them and their learning best.
