Using Rubrics to Find Evidence of Learning: A Chat with Susan Brookhart

We kick off our series on rubrics by speaking to Sue Brookhart, renowned education researcher and author of the book How to Create and Use Rubrics. In our conversation, we touch on why it’s essential to tie rubrics to learning outcomes, what the common misconceptions of rubrics are, and how her perceptions of rubrics have evolved over her career.
