TOOLS » RUBRICS |
| A variety of guides are offered to easily assess student writing based on the characteristics of a specific text type or good writing trait. Rubrics also help students understand the expectations of a finished product. Conversations about rubrics help students realize teacher expectations and their individual progress. This helps students become reflective about their own writing and apply what they've learned to future writing. |  |
