Speech and Debate Scoring Rubrics
The idea behind these rubrics is to make the scores given to debate and speech presentations given by my various students, and to various teachers, more standardized and predictable.
The rubrics contain a large number of pre-determined "most-common" comments on student performance on various dimensions (such as ideas, pronunciation, grammar, etc.).
Comments are checked off as students speak or immediately afterward, and then points are assigned based on the the types of comments selected.
Students liked it because once they become accustomed to the rubrics, they can easily know where they most need improvement. They also very much appreciate the immediate feedback.
Parents appreciated it because they don't have to decipher hand-written teacher comments. My supervisors liked it because they could have all the teachers for a given level using the same scoring criteria, making things a little bit more objective.
The attached rubrics are in .xls format.
