Assessment Rubric
When to use
Use this skill for assessment rubric when you need to make an assessment fair and repeatable. The expected result is a rubric with scoring guidance.
Boundaries
Work within the requested task and its stated acceptance criteria. Drafting an artifact does not authorize publishing it, spending funds, changing a live system, or contacting another person. Identify any such action separately before taking it.
Inputs
Inspect the learning outcome, task, performance levels, and sample responses. Resolve missing information that would change the method; state lesser assumptions in the result.
Method
- Diagnose. Specify learner starting level, prerequisite knowledge, observable objective, available time, and access needs.
- Decide. Write observable criteria with distinct level descriptions.
- Produce. Build a rubric with scoring guidance from the inspected material; keep assumptions distinguishable from observed facts.
Decision rules
- Sequence model, guided practice, independent application, and feedback. Adjust difficulty based on evidence of learning.
- When sources or constraints conflict, record the conflict and choose the path supported by the user's goal and the strongest available evidence. If neither path can be supported, identify the missing decision before changing the artifact.
Domain rules
- Write an observable learning objective before planning activities.
- Use practice and an exit task that directly measure the stated objective.
Verification
Test the rubric on two contrasting examples. Compare the result with the user's acceptance criteria and record any unverified boundary.
Provide a lesson or study plan with prompts, timing, an exit task, and criteria for a successful response.
Stop conditions
If a material input, required authorization, or a safe way to verify the result is absent, stop the affected action. Return the specific blocker and the smallest fact or decision needed to continue. Do not report an unrun check as passed.
Output
Provide a rubric with scoring guidance. Include the decisive evidence and actual verification result. Name any artifact location and unresolved issue that affects its use.
