More on Rubrics

As I was reading some of my classmates' blogs, one caught my eye. In Reading Counts for Everyone, the author, Ms. McClung, provided a few links to a variety of rubric development applications and websites. In addition, the blog included a great article on rubric development, Scoring rubrics: What, When, and How? which explained the difference between analytic and holistic rubrics. I knew rubrics were becoming more popular. I didn't realize how much more popular -- at least based on the literature I've been seeing. This article provides a great explanation on how to write and score a rubric, regardless of the tool you use (or don't use) to develop one.
