Creating The Rubric

The last piece of the assessment puzzle is developing your rubric.  Three-dimensional assessments, for the most part, cannot be graded with a simple answer key.  Student answers and approaches are going to vary, as they apply their skills differently and utilize different pieces of information they learned over the course of the unit to complete the tasks.  You may have some questions that are cut and dry, but for the most part, it’s much easier – and more equitable – to create simple rubrics to assess student performance.
