# Score work against a rubric: scoring guide

Score a piece of work against a written rubric, one criterion at a time, quote the evidence for each mark, and say what would reach the top level, using only the rubric you give.

## How to use it

1. Run the template on your own material, or take an answer you already have.
2. For each criterion below, read the answer against the two lines and tick one: meets or does not meet. Quote what you saw.
3. A criterion marked "checked by you" is yours to mark. An AI cannot meet it for you.
4. Count the ticks for meets, out of 8. Fix the first criterion that is not met and run the guide again.

## The guide

### 1. Every description of met is quoted word for word from the rubric

A plain rule you can check by eye.

- Meets: Every description of met in the table is found word for word in the rubric.
- Does not meet: A description has been reworded or improved, or is not in the rubric word for word.
- Your mark: [ ] Meets  [ ] Does not meet
- What you saw:

### 2. Every passage is quoted word for word from the work

A plain rule you can check by eye.

- Meets: Every passage is found word for word in the work (a quote joined with ... is checked piece by piece), or the row says None found.
- Does not meet: A passage has been reworded, or is not found word for word in the work.
- Your mark: [ ] Meets  [ ] Does not meet
- What you saw:

### 3. Each mark is one of the three allowed words

A plain rule you can check by eye.

- Meets: Every criterion has exactly one of met, partly met or not met.
- Does not meet: A row has another word, such as mostly met or good.
- Your mark: [ ] Meets  [ ] Does not meet
- What you saw:

### 4. Every row to improve is filled in

A plain rule you can check by eye.

- Meets: Every row under To improve has the criterion, the mark, the evidence and what would reach met filled in.
- Does not meet: A row under To improve has a blank or a dash in one of its cells.
- Your mark: [ ] Meets  [ ] Does not meet
- What you saw:

### 5. Every criterion in the report is in the rubric word for word

A plain rule you can check by eye.

- Meets: Every criterion quoted in the report is found word for word in the rubric.
- Does not meet: A quoted criterion has been reworded or is not in the rubric.
- Your mark: [ ] Meets  [ ] Does not meet
- What you saw:

### 6. The counts add up to the marks

Checked by a second AI prompt.

- Meets: The numbers on the Result line match the marks, and the table has one row for each criterion not marked met.
- Does not meet: A count on the Result line is wrong, or a criterion not marked met has no row, or a met criterion has one.
- Your mark: [ ] Meets  [ ] Does not meet
- What you saw:

### 7. Each mark and each fix follows the rubric's own words

Checked by a second AI prompt.

- Meets: Each mark matches the rubric's wording for that level, and each fix uses only the rubric's wording and facts already in the work.
- Does not meet: A mark gives credit the rubric does not allow, or a fix suggests content that is in neither the rubric nor the work.
- Your mark: [ ] Meets  [ ] Does not meet
- What you saw:

### 8. You decide whether you agree with each mark

Checked by you.

- Meets: You read the evidence beside each mark, decided whether you agree, and treated the marks as a first read.
- Does not meet: The marks are used as a final grade without being read against the work.
- Your mark: [ ] Meets  [ ] Does not meet
- What you saw:

## Your result
