May 13th WASC Meeting
7:00 pm- Manteca

Notetaking: Kiah Edgerton

Suggested Improvements for Writing Rubrics:
* too hard to use for K-12
* too vague/generic
* genre based would be better (ex: rubric does not apply to poetry)
* 0 or 1-- no in between even though .5 would work in many cases
* what is our goal?-- Help parents direct students?
* Choose 1 genre to look at and then give criteria
* Separate out into smaller groups K-3, 4-6, etc...
* No samples to base our findings on
* Not clear enough directions for assignment-- maybe give a specific topic for each grade level next time.
* N/A may alter results

In order to wrtie about this, we need a specific prompt for specific grade level and standards to be followed

People possibly interested in writing for a stipend: Kiah Edgerton
