A quotation from Montaigne

We readily inquire, “Does he know Greek or Latin?” “Can he write poetry and prose?” But what matters most is what we put last: “Has he become better and wiser?” We ought to find out not who understands most but who understands best. We work merely to fill the memory, leaving the understanding and the sense of right and wrong empty.
 
[Nous enquerons volontiers, Sçait-il du Grec ou du Latin ? escrit-il en vers ou en prose ? mais, s’il est devenu meilleur ou plus advisé, c’estoit le principal, & c’est ce qui demeure derriere. Il falloit s’enquerir qui est mieux sçavant, non qui est plus sçavant. Nous ne travaillons qu’à remplir la memoire, & laissons l’entendement & la conscience vuide.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essay (1572-1578), “Of Pedantry [Du pedantisme]), Essays, Book 1, ch. 24 (1.24) (1595) [tr. Screech (1987), ch. 25]

The goal of the Good, Better, Best rubric is to make it easier for cultural institutions to standardize writing across the organization with audience engagement in mind. Though you can (and should) use this rubric as an assessment tool, it is designed to work as a guide to creating relevant and impactful audience-facing text.

A Single Point #Rubric relies on your discussion of the paper with the student. In three columns, a teacher can express what works, what the goals of the assignment are, and what the student needs to do to grow. #Assessment needs to be collaborative, and Single Point Rubrics are a way for students to take ownership of their learning. #DEI #Highered https://geoffcain.com/blog/single-point-rubrics/

@actualham So many true statements in that article that resonate with me (and probably everyone who subscribes to the #constructivist view on #education). #Learning is experience, interaction, and dialog, not checking boxes on a #rubric.

This month's free access paper from the Journal of #Geoscience #Education is a literature #review of programs developed to support #Indigenous #students. The #rubric that the authors use should be useful to anyone developing #DEI programs.
