While many teachers do not realize that creating an assignment is creating an assessment, they should go hand in hand. This book highlights both the value of rubrics and the value of assessment literacy, which is the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to create, administer, and understand the results of assessments to improve student learning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRubrics \u003c\/i\u003eprovides new and experienced teachers with the tools to become more transparent assessors of their students' writing, reading, listening, speaking, grammar, and vocabulary. Deborah Crusan and Robyn Brinks Lockwood bring their expertise in assessment and English for academic purposes to address the challenges teachers face in writing clear assignments and grading them fairly. They emphasize that teachers need to think about what they want their students to be able to do, clarify their expectations to their students, and convey those expectations on a rubric\/scoring guide. While transparent, step-by-step instructions are included in the book to help teachers create their own assignments and assessments, the appendix materials containing ready-made assignments and their accompanying rubrics will be sure to delight busy teachers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobyn Brinks Lockwood\u003c\/b\u003e is Advanced Lecturer for the Stanford Language Center in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Stanford University.
