You'll find that using the reproducible rubric will help you evaluate fairly and consistently in a way that helps your student grow as a writer. Evaluating writing doesn't have to be hard!

If you have felt that you’re just not equipped for the job of evaluating writing, this book will provide the information, tools, and resources you need.
