Rubric Assessment on Creativity
by Susan M. Brookhart
                    A Rubric for Creativity         
      ≈Assessing creativity should support students in becoming more creative.≈
  • Set tasks for students that are conducive to creativity.
  • Provide students an opportunity to observe examples of unique presentations or ideas in various subject areas.
  • Encourage students to be less imitative.
  • Brainstorming stimulates creativity.
  • High quality and originality supports creativity.
  • Encourage combining ideas to make something new.
  • Generating a grade is not recommended.  This may stifle ideas.
  • There is not a formula for providing feedback.
  • Provide feedback with specifics on why their work is creative and allow students to enhance their work.
  • Creativity can be assessed at every grade level and subject area.
