Using the NC Summary Rubric to Evaluate Instructional Materials
Guiding Principles
• Be aligned with standards and provide opportunities for deeper learning
• Provide ample coverage to all standards and objectives
• Emphasize quality over quantity• Rated by educators in North Carolina
A Need for an Evaluation System
•There are multiple ways of evaluating a resource, for example a holistic approach (e.g. the 5-star system on OERCommons.org) or evaluating each of the parts, as with a rubric.
•The purpose of a rubric is to provide a structure for evaluating a resource in a systematic, purposeful, and comprehensive way, allowing the rater to identify, evaluate, and sort objects based on the identified essential elements.
