# Creating a Rubric Assessment

A rubric is a scoring tool that lists the criteria for student work. A rubric describes levels of quality for each criterion. Rubric assessments help evaluate students’ skills and knowledge on a performance or project. They provide a clear, transparent grading scheme and help students understand the teacher's expectations.
