Central RubricsDescription
Writing rubrics is a time consuming and difficult process; it is therefore likely that your school will choose to use or adapt some rubrics that are already available. These rubrics should be evaluated using the same criteria that are used for writing your own rubrics.
Things to Consider
Remember that rubrics not written by your school may not use criteria that match the purpose of the tasks for which you have adopted them. It is important to calibrate adopted rubrics using the same process you use for your own rubrics.
Tools
Oral Communications Rubric
The oral presentation rubric must be used, in some form, for the evaluation of exhibitions that function as a School-Wide Diploma Assessment. This rubric outlines the minimum standards set by RIDE. It may be modified to include more information, but schools may not remove criteria.
The Reference Standards column identifies the Grade Span Expectations, New Standards English Language Arts Standards, and New Standards Applied Learning Standards that are addressed.
Writing Conventions Rubric
This tool will be used to assess student performance on all written components of a graduation portfolio.
The writing conventions rubric details the minimum standards set by RIDE. Schools should feel free to add but not remove criteria.
