Project Development of a Scoring Rubric (for English Domain):
HHCKLA Buddhist Ching Kok Secondary School

Scoring rubrics are descriptive scoring schemes that are developed by teachers or other evaluators to guide the analysis of the products or processes of students’ efforts. They have become a common method for evaluating students’ work, with different scoring rubrics serving different purposes for different student grades and subject content.

One common use of a scoring rubric is to guide the evaluation of students’ writing, which may vary depending upon the criteria established by the individual evaluators. By using a pre-defined scheme for the evaluation process, the teacher who evaluates a piece of writing will be more objective.

The project at the HHCKLA Buddhist Ching Kok Secondary School (BCKSS) involved all four Secondary 4 classes, five local and one Native Speaking English teacher (NET) - with the WrITE Project as the consultancy team. The objective involved developing an effective and school-based scoring rubric for assessing students’ writing at BCKSS.
