What is a rubric and how are they being used in teacher education and evaluation? When did rubrics become ubiquitous in the field of education? What impact do rubrics have on students, teachers, teacher educators, and the educational enterprise? This book is an edited volume of essays that critically examine the phenomenon of rubrics in teacher education, evaluation and education more broadly. Rubrics have seen a dramatic rise in use and presence over the past twenty-five years in colleges of education and districts across the country. Although there is a wealth of literature about how to make rubrics, there is scant literature that explores the strengths and weaknesses of rubrics and the impact the rubric phenomenon is having in reshaping education. The chapters included in this edited volume will critically reflect on the contemporary contexts of rubrics and the uses and impact of rubrics in education. Since rubrics have become indelible in education, it is necessary for a fuller, nuanced discussion of the phenomenon. Creating a book that explores these aspects of rubrics is timely and fundamental to expanding the discourse on this ubiquitous evaluation tool.This book is not meant to be a series of chapters dedicated to best practices for creating rubrics, nor is this text meant to present all sides of the rubric discussion. Rather, this text intends to offer critical polemics about rubrics that can spur greater critical discussion about a phenomenon in education that has largely been unquestioned in the literature.

Unimpeded world trade is still a dream. We may have virtually eliminated most border restrictions, but persistent discriminatory measures within borders - in the shapes of restrictive investment policies, inappropriate regulatory interference, and restraints on competition - still have the power to stifle foreign entrants to domestic markets.

Completing the World Trading System proposes to confront these trade-distorting forces at a new round of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Drawing on many years of international trade law practice and policymaking, the authors present a detailed agenda designed to:

* deepen market access for all goods, services, and intellectual property* facilitate and protect investment by foreign enterprises* overcome disparities of national regulatory schemes* ensure nondiscriminatory business operations in foreign markets* reinforce and support evolving international economic realities

This timely, forward-looking book also shows how major regional trading arrangements have in fact achieved deeper economic integration than the WTO regime. Incorporating this evidence - as well as other proposals from the academic and policy communities - Completing the World Trading System crystallizes the most important trends in current international trade Law.

"What a superb tour of the horizon this is. This text provides more thought and vision to the trade challenges of the future than any book I have seen in years. The tough trade issues of recent years have been characterized by more heat than light. Here''s a book that finally provides some light."

The Hon. Clayton Yeutter, former U.S. Trade Representative and Secretary of Agriculture

"On the eve of the millennium round of trade negotiations it is important that people engage at every level and consider every option. That is why this magisterial work is important to the debate process. It will irritate some and leave others breathless in the wake of the bow wave of its scope, vision and detail."

The Rt. Hon Mike Moore, former New Zealand Prime Minister and Minister of Overseas Trade
