Angela is a member of Getty Arts Ed Net Talk. At my request, she sent me her rubrics. So many teachers struggle with how to come up with "objective" criteria for a subject area that is so subjective. See how Angela is working to solve this problem. To use these -- or edit these - try to save the file as html and open into Word.
