More information coming this week - thank you!
(1) It contains far less language than the analytic rubric, which means students are more likely to read it and it will take less time to create, while still providing rich detail about what’s expected.
(2) Areas of concern and excellence are open-ended. When using full analytic rubrics, I often find that students do things that are not described on the rubric, but still depart from expectations. Because I can’t find the right language to highlight, I find myself hand-writing justifications for a score in whatever space I can find.
With a single-point rubric, there’s no attempt to predict all the ways a student might go wrong. Similarly, the undefined “Advanced” column places no limits on how students might stretch themselves. “If the highest level is already prescribed then creativity may be limited to that pre-determined level,” says Fluckiger. “Students may surprise us if we leave quality open-ended.”

1. Keep it simple. Pedagogy over tech tools.
2. Keep the workload light and stick to the essentials.
3. Focus on connections and relationships – that’s what matters.
Key Thoughts:
To create a new story of learning we must change the role of the student and the teacher.
Students learn best when they feel known, valued, and respected by both the adults in the school and their peers.
Learning and thinking are as much a collective enterprise as they are an individual endeavor.
We can’t teach dispositions, we must enculturate them.
Learning is a consequence of thinking.
