Interesting Ideas from our discussion:

• Finding the positives in students.
• Timing is critical.
• Give the test a day later is optimal. It allows for processing and reflection.
• Spiraling is very beneficial.
• The language is important. Rather than calling it a "test," it could be called a "learning opportunity." The students are having learning opportunities to show what they know.
• Rubrics are intended to increase objectivity, but they are still subjective.
