"Many teachers are excited about the maker movement andcreating projects for their classrooms. How will assessment be done? How can teachers prove that deep, rich learning is occurring through making? How do we justify a grade to students and parents alike? By crafting a three-part rubric that assesses process, understanding, and product, teachers can rest assured that they are covering all the bases."

"Research has shown that reading for enjoyment has an impact on academic achievement.. One of the ways teachers can encourage students to read for pleasure is by reading aloud to them, but it is a practice more associated with primary school settings." But it works in Secondary schools too.
