Rubrics of Assessment

How would you assess the life skills of a student?

It might be a part of the formative assessment but cannot be evaluated quantitatively. What you need is a rubric. In education terminology, a rubric is a scoring tool used to evaluate performance, a product, or a project. It has three parts:

1) performance criteria;

2) rating scale;

3) indicators.

These dimensions are generally referred to as criteria, the rating scale as levels, and indicators as descriptors.
