Definition
A scoring guide that lists the specific criteria used to evaluate a student's work, along with descriptions of performance at each level (e.g., excellent, proficient, developing, insufficient). Rubrics make grading transparent and consistent, help students understand expectations, and provide meaningful feedback. They can be holistic (single overall score) or analytic (separate scores for each criterion).
