"EdSteps is intended to be a large, public library of student work samples in key skill areas. For each skill area, student work will be presented in a continuum - a gradual progression - from emerging to accomplished work. EdSteps is a grassroots effort to create a resource for teaching and assessment. Rather than assessing work based on a pre-set rubric, EdSteps uses student work as the starting point. After collecting thousands of work samples in each skill area, EdSteps uses a unique process to assess the student work samples, rank them, and create the continuums. (Visit www.edsteps.org to learn about the research-based process that will be used to create the continuums.)"
