Writing to the Rubric: Lingering Effects of Traditional Standardized Testing on Direct Writing Assessment.
Mabry, Linda
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n9 p673-79 May 1999

Standardization of direct writing assessments promotes scoring reliability and facilitates educational comparisons and rankings. However, standardized writing is not good writing, which demands individualized expression. (40 references) (MLH)
