[Usittne] Rubrics

[Michael Katz]

A couple of definitions from the web that might be helpful as this  
starts moving. I deleted the religious definitions.
Mike

• A rubric is a chart composed of criteria for evaluation and levels  
of fulfillment of those criteria. A rubric allows for standardized  
evaluation according to specified criteria, making grading simpler and  
more transparent.


• A rubric is the guide used to score performance assessments in a  
reliable, fair, and valid manner and is generally composed of  
dimensions for judging student performance, a scale for rating  
performances on each dimension, and standards of excellence for  
specified performance levels.

We have been asked to do the same thing at Boston College.  I am not  
even sure where to begin.
Lets identify a group of us who need to tackle this and share ideas.

I've been asked to create learning rubrics for each Theatre Technology  
discipline.  The intent here is to create a tool by which the  
department can measure a student's learning and skill development over  
his four year academic career.  (well okay maybe five year academic  
career)

Do any of you currently have such a tool, or something close to it?   
I'd really rather avoid re-inventing the wheel if at all possible.

Thanks for any an on all help on this matter,
