Abstract	Assessment is about measuring the outcomes of learning. How do students get from learning catalyst to product? How do educators assist them in getting there? And how can it be determined that the student is moving toward appropriate learning goals? These are particularly important questions for educators who are engaged in the development of intercultural education. This essay presents a rubrics approach and framework for the assessment of intercultural learning. The authors identify six areas of learning that they have found consistently lead to growth from intercultural experiences and generate competence statements and associate a particular rubric with each: (1) Understands the dynamics of cultural differences and can apply that understanding through engagement with another culture (cultural difference rubric); (2) Sees global connections (globalization rubric); (3) Has expanded sense of self as global citizen; understands self in relationship to the larger society (global citizen rubric); (4) Reflects and understands how personal identity is transformed through interaction with others (personal identity rubric); (5) Understands and can appreciate the context and perspective of others (perspective rubric); and (6) Can apply intercultural sensitivity and awareness to other situations, societies, and cultures (transferability rubric). A scale (excellent, acceptable, and insufficient) is used to describe the levels of attainment for each competence, along with performance indicators articulating the differences among the levels.
