At BETT 2020, Google for Education made a huge announcement: rubrics are leaving beta. Soon all teachers will be able to use rubrics in their Google Classrooms. Check out their The Keyword blog post:

• Improve student writing with originality reports and rubrics in Classroom

I am honored to be quoted in this blog post. Speaking about rubrics, I shared:

“[Rubrics enable] teachers to give much more detailed feedback than just a text comment. Students can now see both what is expected of them and how they did in meeting expectations…Rubrics save teachers times in two ways: You can reuse rubrics and  you can also duplicate criterion.”
