1. @educatoral Rubrics do not fail students any more than broken pencils do. Rubrics used poorly are poor quality tools. @markbarnes19

2. @markbarnes19 Your response puts the onus for feedback entirely on the teacher. Quality rubrics are a way to to support stds. @educatoral

3. @markbarnes19 Can I justify use of rubrics?Absolutely. http://t.co/cCgSQRtqVc I can’t see how anyone can justify NOT using them. @educatoral

5. @educatoral @markbarnes19 We need clear criteria so we can provide effective feedback. Well done rubrics can provide this. @DataDiva

6. @DataDiva @educatoral @markbarnes19 Agreed! If rubrics fail, please provide us w/ alternatives.

7. . @ChrisWejr @educatoral @DataDiva worst of all, #rubrics measure with numbers — something we have to stop doing #edchat

8. @markbarnes19 No. They don’t. Rubrics are about qualitative, not quantities. @ChrisWejr @educatoral

9. @markbarnes19 Rubrics use ordinal scales, not ratio. The number “” means 4th column, not 2x as good as “2”. @ChrisWejr @educatoral

10. . @rushtheiceberg @DataDiva @educatoral this is the alternative http://t.co/i2e7EMOa7f SE2R #feedback

11. @DataDiva @educatoral if every hammer in the kit is of poor quality, I’d find an alternative to a hammer

12. @markbarnes19 It’s an alternative – but it still places feedback in the teachers’ hands. That’s a challenge. @rushtheiceberg @educatoral

13. @markbarnes19 @educatoral @DataDiva we have rubrics without numbers. Who said they have to have numbers?

14. @markbarnes19 I’d suspect you’re looking for hammers that support your perspective 🙂 http://t.co/jFsvpSuARa @educatoral

15. @DataDiva @educatoral I don’t want to vilify your tool. You probably make it work. I simply don’t believe in it.

16. @markbarnes19 Rubrics aren’t like Santa Clause 🙂 And they’re not my tool – your post does vilify, though. @educatoral

17. @DataDiva @educatoral My post vilifies the tool only — no t teachers.
