Collapse of the World Order
Rubrics escaped the classroom today
and went wild on spring break.
Each level of performance,
trapped neatly in an isolated square,
sprang off the page-
hit the ground running.
Hooking up with Scrabble bums and
mingling with synonyms of defiant.
Can you imagine?
No more performance anxiety.
The rubric provides those doing the assessment with exactly the characteristics for each level of performance on which they should base their judgment.
The rubric provides those who have been assessed with clear information about how well they performed.
The rubric also provides those who have been assessed with a clear indication of what they need to accomplish in the future to better their performance.
