Learning Skills/Behavior Rubric
Overview
A rubric is a performance-based assessment that seeks to measure or rate the quality of a students' work or behavior using a scoring guide. This five-point rubric, ranging from "no concept" to "distinguished," was designed to focus on work or behavior typically addressed in gifted education. It is meant to provide an assessment that may be used as benchmark or formative data to describe present levels of academic achievement and functional performance in developing annual goals for an Individualized Education Program (IEP). It is based on Costa and Kallick's 16 Habits of Mind, but also includes elements from Bloom's Revised Taxonomy and Marzano's Dimensions of Learning and 21st Century Learning Skills.
There are many custom made analytic rubrics available to assess components of a finished product, such as research project rubrics and writing rubrics. This rubric is intended as a holistic approach, assessing the student's whole behavior, but a teacher may use it to identify certain behavior(s) to address in the IEP. It may be presented as a pre-post test or as a recurring progress monitoring tool. It may also be presented to the student as a self- assessment.
The following chart provides a range of scores corresponding to each of the five levels of this rubric. Using the rubric holistically, the student’s total score is used to find the performance level.
Score ranges 0-14 15-30 31-49 50-65 66-80
Instructions
The Learning Skills/Behavior Rubric contains 20 elements. Scoring requires the assignment of one of the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 for each element in the spaces provided to the right of the descriptions. The overall score across all elements is determined by adding the scores from each of the elements.
Using the Learning Skills/Behavior Rubric as a pre/post model, the same teacher should pre- and post- assess the student to be consistent in scoring. The score should reflect the student’s success and also encourage him/her to continue to develop greater independence in monitoring and evaluating own skills and behavior.
