Assessment of this sort seems at odds with such concepts as “deep learning,” which implies a kind of learning that is beyond measurement, an elusive hard to describe enlightenment, but identifiable in the same way good art is: teachers know deep learning when they see it. Rubrics, Halden-Sullivan contends, reduce “deep learning” to “checksheets.”

  Isn't it all about the combination of a well-written rubric and the onging conversations between the teacher and student as they work along on the journey? If the only conversation is the rubric....you get what you get. If the teacher is working with a student as they progress along the continuum of the rubric, it seems like the chances of deep learning is possible.

Bias can also creep into assessments and erode accurate results. Examples of bias include poorly printed test forms, noise distractions, vague directions, and cultural insensitivity.

  I believe we are OK at reviewing materials with a "traditional" sense of bias but when it comes to cultural sensitivity...I'm not sure my district has a handle on the work.
