Developing and Using Scoring Rubrics to Evaluate and Improve Student Performance
Time Frame: (1 day)
Scoring tools, such as performance lists and rubrics; can be used to improve student performance as well as evaluate it. In this workshop, we'll examine the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of different types of scoring tools - performance lists, holistic and analytic rubrics. We'll learn a structured process for designing scoring rubrics. We'll review procedures for achieving fair, valid, and reliable evaluation of student learning. Finally, we'll examine strategies for using scoring tools for instruction as well as evaluation. Relevant print and electronic resources will be previewed.
Note: Participants will have the opportunity to work with a partner or group to design or refine a scoring rubric. Thus, they should bring any materials (e.g., content standards, unit plans, open-ended assignments/ assessments, sample rubrics, etc.) to support their work.
