Welcome to the Rubric Machine. Using Rubrics How can I use rubrics as an instructional tool? Rubrics are most effective when they are used to inform students about how well they are thinking about or doing on a particular task or lesson. Rubrics become instructional tools when: they clearly describe or explain what you expect from students for a particular lesson or project they are used to help students identify what they are doing well (and not so well) they are used to help students build on and use the feedback and assessments they receive (from the teacher, other students, or themselves) to improve their learning. they are used to help students reflect on and monitor their own learning, rather than hoping for the best and then waiting for a final grade from a teacher.
