STAAR Short Answer Rubric
	Insufficient Response 0 pts	Partially Sufficient Response 1 pts	Sufficient Response 2 pts	Exemplary Response 3 pts
Idea/Response	Insufficient Response Idea is not an answer to the question asked, or no idea/answer is given.	Partially Sufficient Response Student's response is reasonable, but is missing an explanation or is not specific enough. Response only considers the most literal meaning of the text.	Sufficient Response Response is reasonable and goes beyond a literal meaning of the text.	Exemplary Response Response is perceptive and shows awareness of complexities of the text.
Explanation	Insufficient Response No explanation is given, or if one is given, it does not make sense.	Partially Sufficient Response No explanation of response or explanation is not specific enough. Needs more information.	Sufficient Response The explanation of the response is specific enough to show that the student can make connections throughout the text and draw valid conclusions.	Exemplary Response Student develops a coherent explanation of the idea, making discerning connections across the text.
Text Evidence	Insufficient Response The student does not base ideas on the text/what was read, or the student's response does not provide evidence from the text.	Partially Sufficient Response Text evidence provided not present, or is flawed and does not adequately support the idea. Inadequate text evidence is: -only a general reference to the text -too partial to support the response -weakly linked to the response - misunderstands the meaning of the text	Sufficient Response Text evidence used to support the idea is accurate and relevant. Response & text evidence used to support it are clearly linked.	Exemplary Response Text evidence used to support the response is specific and well chosen. Overall, the evidence strongly supports the validity of the idea.
Coherence	Insufficient Response Idea is too general, vague, or unclear to determine if it is a reasonable response. The student's reponse lacks text support, is quoted verbatim with no explanation, or "echoes" the text evidence.	Partially Sufficient Response No textual evidence is provided. Even if text evidence is provided, the response still needs to be more specific or explain the idea more clearly.	Sufficient Response The combination of the response and text evidence demonstrates a good understanding of the text.	Exemplary Response The combination of the response and text evidence demonstrates a good deep understanding of the text.
