TIPS FOR DEVELOPING CHECKLIST, RATING SCALE AND
RUBRIC

• Use checklists, rating scales and rubrics in
  relation to outcomes and standards.
• Use simple formats that can be understood by
  students and that will communicate information
  about student learning to parents.
• Ensure that the characteristics and descriptors
  listed are clear, specific and observable.
• Encourage students to assist with constructing
  appropriate criteria. For example, what are the
  descriptors that demonstrate levels of
  performance in problem solving?
• Ensure that checklists, rating scales and rubrics
  are dated to track progress over time.
• Leave space to record anecdotal notes or
  comments.
• Use generic templates that become familiar to
  students and to which various descriptors can be
  added quickly, depending on the outcome(s) being
  assessed.
• Provide guidance to students to use and create
  their own checklists, rating scales and rubrics
  for self-assessment purposes and as guidelines
  for goal setting.
