What it does
Give the year level, subject and task, choose 2 to 8 criteria and a scale: Working towards, At and Above; or Beginning, Developing, Consolidating and Extending. Heapso writes an observable descriptor for each criterion at each level, then a student-friendly I can checklist.
Download the rubric as Word or print it. Then use it in Heapso's marking to give feedback against the same criteria.
