Rubric Design
Well designed rubrics provide clarity around assessment decisions, create a common platform from which educators and students can work together, and support the development of self-regulated learning. Many educators invest considerable thought and care in developing rubrics with the intention to fulfil all these functions.
This capability building program deepens that practice. It begins with defining and unpacking the knowledge and skills you are assessing, so that rubrics measure what they are designed to measure.
About Rubric Design
Who is this for?
