Rubric on Rubric
	Excellent 4 pts	Good 3 pts	Fair 2 pts	Poor 1 pts
Usefulness	Excellent Assessment is useful and convenient to the learner from the beginning of the discussion about the task, and it concentrates all student energy on what is important to accomplish.	Good Learners can understand the assessment and begin to use it before the task has begun. It focuses their energy on what it is important to accomplish.	Fair Assessment is available to learners at some point before the task is completed. Students can use it to get an idea of what is important to accomplish.	Poor Assessment not available to learner or learner cannot interpret or understand it.
Self Assessment	Excellent Learners required to self-assess and are required to reflect and concentrate on quality of work.	Good Learners encouraged to self assess and reflect on quality of work.	Fair Learners are invited to self-assess, but may not reflect on quality.	Poor There is no reason to self-assess or focus on quality.
Descriptors	Excellent Has explicit descriptors which allow the teacher to distinctly discriminate within a range of quality. (4 or 6 are ideal so no "middle" exists.)	Good Has specific descriptors which allow the teacher to discriminate a range of quality, which is limited to few enough, so that discrimination is distinct (usually 3-7 levels).	Fair Has descriptors which help teacher measure specific items, but there may be too many items.	Poor No understandable descriptors.
Key Elements	Excellent Measures only vital elements which are critical to the task. No items of low consequence.	Good Measures key elements which are essential to the task. Few items of low consequence.	Fair Meaningful items assessed, but may be of limited significance.	Poor Inappropriate items are assessed (due to ease of grading?).
Validity	Excellent An explicit set of objectives is measured. Understanding is a prerequisite to scoring well. Students cannot score well or poorly due to factors unrelated to objectives.	Good A distinct set of objectives is measured. Students must understand the concepts to score well and will score well if they understand.	Fair Vague objectives may be present. Students who understand objectives tend to score higher.	Poor Students are uncertain as to what is expected. Assessment does not measure what it says it measures.
Reliability	Excellent Different teachers grading the same task will get the same results.	Good Different teachers grading the same task will get highly similar results.	Fair Teachers are guided to similar results.	Poor There is no consistency of results.
