      Wow, nice concept. Getting further into subjectivity though. Where do we get an understanding of how to determine a pieces distinct 'evaluative criteria'
  • Thus, the dilemma:  Either our instruction and our assessment remain “out of synch” or the instruction gets worse in order that students’ writing can be easily judged with the help of rubrics.
  • In fact, when the how’s of assessment preoccupy us, they tend to chase the why’s back into the shadows.

  • We have to reassess the whole enterprise of assessment, the goal being to make sure it’s consistent with the reason we decided to go into teaching in the first place.

Reading becomes easier, more effective, and fun; writing receives an added dimension of artistic expression. Browse through some Flows, find one you like and play it full screen to get a sense of what we're all about! Then find out more:
