- Abstract
By breaking the NGSS science and engineering practice of argumentation down into its component skills, our rubric provides teachers with an access point for all learners. Instructional rubrics can help alleviate cognitive load by targeting an appropriate component skill within the practice (e.g., scientific argumentation) and ensure that the instructional context is not so demanding that the student is unable to engage in the practice. Although many rubrics are used to provide a summative score on an assignment, the rubric we developed below provides teachers with a way to formatively assess and guide student progression through the science curriculum. In today's science classrooms, students are increasingly required to integrate mastery of core concepts with complex scientific and engineering practices.
