An evaluation tool that defines goals and accomplishments and shows a score for each one is called a

• A. Rubric
• B. Strategies
• C. Target specification
• D. Outcome

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is a scoring guide that defines what counts as success for each part of a task and assigns a score to each part. That kind of tool is a rubric. A rubric lays out specific criteria tied to goals and shows a score for each criterion, often with descriptors for different levels of performance. This makes expectations clear and lets teachers evaluate progress consistently across tasks and students.

Explain why the other options aren’t the best fit: strategies are about methods to complete a task, not about judging how well each aspect was performed. Target specification focuses on stating targets or benchmarks, not on providing a score for each goal. An outcome describes the result of work, not the scoring framework used to assess different components of the work.
