The rubric uses a 4 point scale 3.0 represents what you want the
student to know and be able to do This means that a student can do
all of the processes and knows all of the knowledge that was explicitly taught over the course of a unit
Score 3.0
2.0 means the student gets and can do the simpler details and processes that were taught
But, the student is not able to do the more complex processes and does not know the more complex information
So, the student gets and can do the simpler stuff, but not the harder stuff
Score 2.0
Score 2.0 uses the following stem:“There are no major errors or omissions
regarding the simpler details and processes as the student:
◦ recognizes or recalls basic terminology such as:
◦ performs basic processes such as:
Writing Score 2.0
At this step, define the basic vocabulary that the student needs to know
Complete the rubric by listing samples of the vocabulary appropriate to understand the Score 3.0 content
Not every rubric has to have vocabulary
Terminology
2 types of knowledge Procedural
Knowing how to do something Declarative
Knowing something
If the Score 3.0 is procedural, than the 2.0 should be as well
If the Score 3.0 is declarative, then the Score 2.0 is declarative
Score 2.0 Elements
1. Use the hierarchy of procedural knowledge
2. Simpler Version of a Complex Procedure3. Application vs. Demonstration of the
procedure4. Behavioral Scale – using prompts5. Performing the steps of a procedure6. Procedural Declarative
6 Techniques for Writing Procedural Score 2.0
Procedural knowledge has a hierarchy
Processes Macroprocedures
Skills Tactics Algorithms Single Rules
1. Using the Hierarchy
COMPLEXITY
Macroprocedures Highly complex procedures, with many
subcomponents Tactics
Complex procedure, with fewer subcomponents
Algorithms Procedures with very specific steps and
very specific outcomes Single rules
One step procedure, one IF-THEN rule
The Hierarchy of Procedural Knowledge
When you write procedural 2.0’s, you may move down the hierarchy from the procedural 3.0 If the 3.0 involves a macroprocedure:
For example: Write a short constructed response
You may move to a lower complexity procedure, like an algorithm For example: complete a graphic organizer of a short constructed response
Using the Hierarchy
Typically, the expectation or learning goal for Score 3.0 fairly complex, with more complex steps and challenging numbers, or concepts For Example: graphs problems in the slope intercept form
(e.g., 5x-2y=10) Score 2.0 may involve doing simpler versions of
the same procedure–think of practice problems designed to practice and master the procedure. These can be used as Score 2.0 type problems. For Example: graphs simple equations in the slope
intercept form (e.g., y=2x+3) Use examples of the type of problem on both the
2.0 and 3.0 to differentiate between them.
Simpler Version of a Complex Procedure
When the Score 3.0 involves the application of a procedure (e.g., solving a word problem or editing a for capitalization)…
The score 2.0 could be a demonstration of the procedure (e.g., solving a problem or demonstrate the proper capitalization of…)
Application vs. Demonstration of a Procedure
When the procedure is behavioral in nature, you may choose to use a slightly different form of the scale: Score 4.0 – performs the procedure in a new
context or assists others in performing the procedure
Score 3.0 - performs the procedure independently without prompting
Score 2.0 – performs the procedure with a group or class prompt
Score 1.0 – performs the procedure with an individual prompt
3. Behavioral Procedures
When the student is performing a skill that is the sum of a set of steps performed fluently: Score 3.0 could be that the student
performs the skill fluently (e.g., long division, throwing a football)
Score 2.0 could be that the student performs the steps of the procedure in isolation (e.g., performs the steps of long division or throwing a football one at a time but cannot put it together and do it fluently )
4. Performing the steps of a procedure
If the procedure is so simple that it cannot be broken down any further, the 2.0 could be that the student knows information about the procedure Score 3.0 – the student does long division Score 2.0 – the step lists the steps to long
division This could also be true when writing
Score 4.0 – Declarative knowledge about the procedure could be used to go above and beyond
5. Procedural Declarative
1. Writing the expectation at a lower taxonomic level
2. Identifying the foundational knowledge necessary to achieve score 3.0
3. Using vocabulary as foundational knowledge
3 techniques for writing Declarative Score 2.0
Typically, Score 3.0 is written at a Comprehension, Analysis or Knowledge Utilization level
Score 2.0 can be written at a lower taxonomic level, typically Retrieval
This looks like: the student can “recognize or recall isolated details about or examples of the knowledge” expected at Score 3.0
Lower Taxonomic Level
Score 2.0 can also be written to identify the foundational knowledge that a student needs to have in order to successfully meet the expectation at score 3.0
Keep in mind that score 2.0 should represent new knowledge for the student. Do not repeat learning from previous grade levels.
Foundational Knowledge
At times, knowing the vocabulary may be all the foundational knowledge that a student needs
In this case, do not write any basic processes, just complete the vocabulary section of the scale
Vocabulary
Score 4.0 elements involve anything that a student does that is above and beyond what is taught in class
This can include finding out new information, making new generalizations from learned knowledge, applying the information in a new way and demonstrating knowledge in a way that is more than what is expected from other students or ANYTHING above and beyond what was taught
Score 4.0 Elements
Include score 4.0 in the rubric
Pros Cons
• Puts emphasis on learning beyond what was taught by setting a target for the student•Provides guidance for gifted student and teachers of gifted students•Makes assessment clear for the teacher
•Tendency to limit student and teacher to what rubric says, easy to forget that element is only a suggestion•Rubric is designed to limit and focus instruction at the score 3.0 and 2.0 level; use of the rubric shouldn’t change in the middle
Don’t include score 4.0 in the rubric
Pros Cons
•Allows student and teacher to use creativity to design task/assessment•Doesn’t limit student and teacher to only what is written on the rubric•Allows for just about anything to be used to demonstrate knowledge
•Lack of guidance may cause teachers to forget gifted students •May limit the use of the rubric to only score 3.0 and 2.0•Teachers may have difficulty assessing a demonstration of knowledge that is not clearly defined by the rubric
