“Instead of seeing students as Far Below Basic or Advanced, we see them as learners” | Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day...

"Our department assembles and norms and scores the assessments using an improvement rubric from the California Writing Project’s ISAW (Improving Students’ Academic Writing) program.

The whole process is shaped by the rubric; it has shifted the conversation in our department. The point isn’t to give the paper a single score; it’s not a summative assessment. The point is to show the student, and the teacher, where on the continuum he or she lays in twelve specific areas, and by the spring assessment (scored on the same rubric using a different color of highlighter) to hopefully show progress in several of the areas on the rubric."
