Haven't we been using program-wide student assessment guidelines instead of asking teachers to entirely design their own in the past?
Should we apply the process in http://www.pareonline.net/pdf/v17n4.pdf to the existing article evaluation policy criteria? It is very good. It would take some effort to do, but well within available resources at the Foundation's disposal, and the Education Program is one of its most important efforts. That factor analysis process is no more than a few weeks' work. The hard part is scoring a significant number of student achievements according to an initial new rubric. Deriving a smaller equivalent rubric is much easier than the initial scoring of 35-50 students' past efforts.
