Rubrics vs. Proficiency Tables (EC-12)

A frequently asked question is how do proficiency tables and rubrics differ. Some key differences can be found below.

Proficiency Tables
  • focus on one learning standard
  • describe what various degrees of proficiency look like for that one standard
  • show the progression of learning within a standard
  • increase clarity for student and teacher about what proficient learning looks like
  • reinforce common language around a standard 
  • can be used to drive formative feedback for learning
Rubrics
  • describe how a product will be assessed
  • are used to grade and outline multiple criteria for a specific learning product
  • are not typically related to just one learning standard but incorporate performance on multiple standards 
  • shows the level of achievement attained within a learning product but not learning progress within each aspect
  • typically used as a summative assessment of learning
