9. Development of a rubric
(by Dawn M. Zimmaro)
1. Clearly define the assignment
(task, aims, process, product)
2. Determine the key
components you would like to
assess (e.g., coherence,
content and organization for
a writing task)

components (expectations)
4. Establish clear and detailed
standards of performance for
each component (what is
expected from each level of
achievement?)
5. Develop a scoring scale (score
levels and consistent definition)
