A rubric is one authentic
assessment tool which is
designed to simulate real life
activity where students are
engaged in solving real-life
problems.
A rubric is a formative type of
assessment because it
becomes an ongoing part of
the whole teaching
and learning
process.
When a rubric is well-defined,
learners know exactly what is
expected of them and how
they can achieve
the top grade.
A rubric is a scoring guide
that enables the teacher to
make reliable judgments
about student work and
allows students to self-
assess.

quality, built upon a scale of different
possible score points to be assigned

be examined and assessed
•provides key features of performance for
each level of scoring (descriptors) which
