Audrey Quinlan has created a unique instrument that focuses on a
developmental perspective of the use of rubrics to assess student
work. This teacher-friendly text allows the educator to create a
unique and informative assessment for children's work through the
rubric process. Additionally, each chapter provides a wealth of
information that teachers can successfully use in the classroom.
This is an amazing effort to make assessment of student work
reliable and useful for the busy professional.

School (PMSA) Executive Board, and winner of the U. S. Department
of Education?s Blue Ribb*
Quinlan provides numerous examples of checklists and rubrics used
by real teachers in real classrooms, as well as sound advice on how
to create and find rubrics. Unlike other books about rubrics,
however, this book draws on children's developmental
characteristics and common curricular benchmarks to recommend
useful approaches to assessment. This book can help teachers at
every grade level, from kindergarten through college, craft a
variety of ways to fairly assess student work.

Educational Psychology and Methodology, University at Albany*
The way this book addresses special education is excellent! The
chapter on special needs clearly outlines the benefits of using
rubrics to differentiate students from all aspects of the special
needs curriculum, including gifted students. It also provides
examples of rubrics for many different student needs and grade
levels, from elementary to high school. As a teacher who has
experience in both special ed and general ed curricula, I find this
book very helpful!
