Standards-based rubrics allow educators to break down learning targets and define the cognitive steps that students pass through to reach mastery. They provide a framework for feedback, and students can use them to self-assess and have rich conversations with teachers using a shared vocabulary. This understanding leads to better instruction and assessment, especially for students who cannot make great intuitive leaps in understanding. Rubrics help create a path of small steps every student can follow to mastery.
