This document outlines a field study examining different types of scoring rubrics used by resource teachers to assess student learning. The study involves: 1) Researching literature on scoring rubrics. 2) Interviewing at least two resource teachers about their use of scoring rubrics and any difficulties encountered. 3) Analyzing how scoring rubrics benefit the teaching-learning process and relate to portfolio assessment.
