Why did we develop rubrics?
• Inquiry 8 project, funded by the Department of Education
• Revisions after field tests • Rigorous way to evaluate materials
![Page 6: Evaluating Instructional Materials Using Rubrics - BSCS · Evaluating Instructional Materials Using Rubrics Susan M. Kowalski, Brooke N. Bourdélat-Parks, and Pamela Van Scotter 11](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021512/5b16a0f57f8b9a546d8d0729/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Literacy Rubric
• Have literacy strategies for each reading • Want to make sure students:
– Have a high level of comprehension – Can pick out important information in readings
![Page 7: Evaluating Instructional Materials Using Rubrics - BSCS · Evaluating Instructional Materials Using Rubrics Susan M. Kowalski, Brooke N. Bourdélat-Parks, and Pamela Van Scotter 11](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021512/5b16a0f57f8b9a546d8d0729/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sense-making Rubric
• Strategies not necessarily associated with readings
• Often about diagrams, data, graphs, or scientific communication
• Helps students make sense of scientific concepts

Collaborative Learning Rubric
• Research on collaborative learning – Empowers students – Takes the focus off teachers as the sole
authority • See if particular aspects of collaborative
learning are present

Assessment
• Opportunities for formative and summative assessment
• Self, peer, and teacher assessment

5E Instructional Materials Rubric
• Based on constructivist learning theory • Certain aspects should be present in each

Experience a Rubric
• Choose the materials you want to evaluate • Choose the rubric you want to use
– Begin with just 1 rubric – Only use the 5E rubric if you are familiar with
the instructional model and have materials written with the 5Es
• Become familiar with the materials • Complete the rubric

Need to Know
• We have only provided student materials • Skim whole chapter • Base rubric work on:
– Assessment: Whole chapter/module – Collaborative: 1 instance of collaboration – Sense-making: 1 strategy – Literacy: Steps with 1 reading – 5E Materials: Whole chapter/module
