Steps for the Development of Electronic Rubric
• Identification of components of leadership behaviors

3. Writing descriptors
• Descriptors have written to five levels of performance of three components based on the corresponding specifications.
4. Pilot Study
• Pilot study was done by assessing leadership behavior of three students in chemistry classroom
• Reliability of the rubric was found as 0.78.
5. Designing Electronic Version
• Various online tools are available to design rubrics. The investigator selected ‘rubistar’ for creating electronic version of the rubric. The rubric is made available in the website of rubistar.
