2
Decide
Make a preliminary decision on the
dimensions of the performance or
product to be assessed.
To assess science processes, consider
conceptual understanding, processes and
strategies, interpretation of results,
communication, and group processes.
3
Examine
Look at some actual examples of
student work to see if you have
omitted any important dimensions.
How would you do this at the onset if you
have no student work to examine?
4
Refine
Refine and consolidate your list of
dimensions as needed.
Determine the number of categories you
need for your rubric and what each
category will encompass.
