Scoring rubrics are tools designed to make assessment more objective, align instruction with assessment demands, and clarify learning objectives for students. They are not designed to produce a specific distribution of scores, such as a normal curve. The distribution of scores is a result of the assessment and not a goal of the rubric itself.
