Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |
[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] Rethinking Rubrics in Writing Assessment
DISCLAIMER: I acquired and edited this book for Heinemann. Maja Wilson, a brilliant young high school teacher in Michigan, has a provocative new book that challenges one of the current sacred cows of assessment -- the use of rubrics to judge writing. The title is Rethinking Rubrics in Writing Assessment. You can read a chapter online at http://books.heinemann.com/products/E00856.aspx Alfie Kohn wrote the foreword to the book, and the March 2006 English Journal has an essay based on his foreword, titled "The Trouble with Rubrics." It's available online at NCTE only to subscribers of EJ, but Alfie has posted the essay to his web site at http://www.alfiekohn.org/teaching/rubrics.htm Maja also has an article in the latest issue of Rethinking Schools about ETS's computer-based writing assessment, titled "Apologies to Sandra Cisneros": http://www.rethinkingschools.org/archive/20_03/apol203.shtml Gloria gpipkin@knology.net
