Brookhart helps educators learn how to create and use rubrics for formative assessment and grading. She identifies two essential components of effective rubrics: criteria that relate to learning (not tasks) that students are being asked to demonstrate, and clear descriptions of performance across a continuum of quality. She explains the differences between various kinds of rubrics, when to use each, and examples from all grade levels and content areas. She offers strategies for using them in teaching according to purpose: sharing learning targets with students, formative assessment in terms of feedback and student self-evaluation, and grading. She also describes common misconceptions about rubrics, how to write or select them, differences from other assessment tools like checklists and rating scales, and how to use general rubrics for fundamental skills, task-specific rubrics for special purposes, and proficiency-based rubrics for standards-based grading and report card grades.
