The Smarter Balanced Annotated Response Tool is a great resource that provides educators with writing rubrics and performance task examples.

2. I’m wondering if it’s okay for educators to use the same writing rubrics within the classroom for essays.

3. Are educators allowed to use those writing rubrics within their classrooms?

4. A yes or no response. 😊

5. If allowed, students will know exactly what’s expected of them in their writing, for essays and state testing.

6. I’m just now realizing all these great resources we now have as ELD teachers. And how beneficial they will be for us educators and our students.
