The lovely graphic below from Mia MacMeekin takes a look at rubrics and why they should be used and what they can improve, along with a little guide for teachers on rubrics.
Do you use rubrics in your classroom regularly? Have you used them before or do you want to give them a spin for the first time?
We’d love to hear how you use them, what subjects/material you use them for the most or find them the most helpful for.

Rubrics
What is a rubric, and why should I use it?
Rubrics are scoring charts that display what is expected of a student on a particular assignment.
The students can use the rubric when working on their assignment to ensure they know what is expected and can aim to meet those expectations, and teachers can use them when grading the assignment to ensure they are grading fairly and evaluating each assignment evenly.
What Can Rubrics Improve?
- Teaching
- Assessing
- Performance
- Expectations
- Directions
- Assignment quality
- Self evaluation
- Grading quality
- Feedback
A Guide For Teachers
- Understand the expectations for the assignment
- Write out a rubric that makes sense for each assignment
- Read the rubric with your students
- Disclose that you’ll be using a rubric in your grading
- Give the rubric to the students to use
- Copy and Paste the rubric onto the end of each assignment
- Follow the rubric when grading
- Tweak the rubric after you’ve used it but prior to the next assignment if needed
- Have a set of standardized rubrics to pull out and use/tweak throughout the year
