Creating & Recognizing Quality Rubrics 

 

 

Creating & Recognizing Quality Rubrics draws from over 20 years of the author's direct experiences with developing rubrics and performance tasks, devising interesting ways to use rubrics as teaching tools in the classroom, employing rubrics to score thousands of pieces of student work for classroom and large-scale assessments, and working with teachers to make their rubrics more instructionally powerful. This new book from Pearson ATI helps teachers sift through all available rubrics to find those that will work best; explains how to create a rubric; and includes chapters on related topics necessary to maximizing student success: recognizing quality performance tasks, using rubrics instructionally, and communicating with parents about rubrics. 

 

Key issues addressed include:

• What a Good Rubric Looks Like
• How to Develop a General Rubric
• What Good Performance Tasks Look Like
• How to Convert Rubric Scores to Grades
• Tasks and Rubrics as Assessment for Learning
• Communicating with Parents About Rubrics
