This was our summer reading assignment to prepare for our summer planning day. I am a hesitant rubric user, and I think this book helped me understand why I have been so hesitant. It's mostly because I've been doing them wrong! Ha! I am anxious to use what I learned in this book to tweak my rubrics for next year and see if I have more success with them.

It had some good ideas....but the majority of the book examples were based on writing/ELA. I did not find this as helpful as I had hoped for project based assignments.
