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

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.
