How to Develop a Rubric
Here are some steps to take when developing a rubric (Hawaii, 2012).
Step 1: Determine the type of rubric you wish to use – holistic or analytic (Carriveau, 2010).
Step 2: Identify what you want to assess. These form the criteria for the assessment. These
are usually part of the description of the assignment or task.
Step 3: Identify the characteristics to be rated (rows).
Specify the skills, knowledge, and/or behaviors that you will be looking for.
Limit the characteristics to those that are most important to the assessment.
