TARGET: Rubric process for grade reporting

[Mary Ann Bell <mbell@main.com>]

Dear colleagues,
        This is my first attempt to post a message, I know it is the week-end,
and I am acting on an idea I just got to request information I could
pass on at a class tomorrow night.  Even if replies are few in that
short time, I will have gained the experience of trying!  I have just
finished reading Rolling The Elephant Over, which describes one school
district's experiences in changing to elementary report cards based on
rubrics.  I wonder if any of you have experience with this grading
system.  If so, what do you view as advantages?  Drawbacks?  What advice
would you offer to schools and/or districts considering adopting this
method of evaluation for elementary grades?  Thanks and enjoy the rest
of your week-end!
