UDL Tips for Assessment

Use and Share Rubrics to Clarify Expectations:

Rubrics are effective in making the goals and expectations of an assignment explicit. They can serve as a baseline of what is expected and can even include room for students to add goals they have for a given assignment. Clear communication of expectations through a rubric can allow for consistent measurement of the intended goal.

Ask yourself:

• Does the rubric align to the intended skills or knowledge?
• Have components that are not tied to the goal been removed or reduced in my rubric?
• Are there opportunities for choice within the rubric to engage learners in the assignment?
