Elements of Learning Rubric
Instructions: To use the rubric, choose an option from Not Evident to High in the Level column to identify which levels of
each element are supported by a given lesson.
Design lessons that resonate. Think about elements the same way you might think about treble, bass, and volume in
music—more isn’t necessarily better. Rather than trying to maximize all elements in a given lesson, focus on the ones
that provide your students with the best opportunities to understand the topic.
Adjust for age. This rubric provides research-based descriptions of meaningful learning experiences. Take into account
age-appropriate expectations when applying the elements to lessons. Some learning experiences, such as expressing
ideas and making choices, look different depending on the maturity and abilities of the students.
