Title: AACU Value Rubrics
Course: AACU Value Rubrics

Delivered as part of the Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education (VALUE) Initiative by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU), the VALUE rubrics are designed to provide valid assessments of learning in undergraduate education. The VALUE rubrics consist of 16 templates, each of which help evaluators assess the level of competence represented in a collection of exemplary student work such as a paper, performance, community service project. Each rubric addresses five to six key criteria for a competency such as quantitative literacy, and the evaluator chooses from among the four descriptions; a benchmark level, two milestone levels, or the highest capstone level.

Seattle University has obtained permission to make the VALUE rubrics available for use by instructors via this site. To ease use of the rubrics, the 16 templates have been adapted into rubrics within this course site, which may be imported into any course site to which you have access.

Once you have reviewed the rubrics, you can import into your Canvas course by downloading the template file and then importing per this guide.
