Observations with Rubrics for Assessment

Observation with rubric uses a rubric-driven quality framework that consists of multiple domains, sections, and criteria-based questions. The framework has certain parameters on which the entities are assessed based on a rubric-based scoring system. Each criterion has a rating level mapped to different levels of performance, such as Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, and Poor.

Following are the three components of a rubric:

Domains: Observations can be classified under broad categories such as domains. For example, to evaluate performance of a school, domains could include academics or extracurricular activities.

Sections: These are subdivisions under domains. For example, under the domain of academics, sections include things such as student performance or library.

Criteria-based questions: These are specific questions within the sections to evaluate the performance of an entity. Scores are set for each criterion.
