Evaluation makes judgments about, and assigns values to, the results of assessments. Rubrics are assessment tools that make explicit what is being assessed, list characteristics of degrees of quality, and provide a rating scale to differentiate among these degrees.
- A holistic rubric uses one scale for an entire project.
- An analytic rubric specifies separate parts of an assessment task, product, or performance and the characteristics of various levels of success for each.

- Accountability for student learning falls most heavily on teachers.
- While classroom assessment is vital, the only way to compare local, state, or international results is through a standardized system.
- Test results should guide teacher decision making.
- The challenge is to create a fair and equitable assessment system that doesn’t stifle imaginative teaching and learning.
