Do rubrics help guide and inform teaching practice? Based on this research, the answer to the question on one level is that it depends on the nature of the rubric. In the presentation, a comparison between the criteria in the original rubric with the criteria in the new rubric will be made to illustrate this point. On another level however, this comparison raises questions about the relationship between assessment and teaching, and whether rubrics are sufficient for informing teaching practice.
