In the middle of student teaching at the moment, and I'm looking for some theory or books or talks or something from forward thinking sources. Noticing a lot of antiquated methods. I don't agree with them but I don't have the theory to put it into words or think of new methods.

Anyone have any suggestions? Particularly in the use of rubrics or assessments/grading.

Thanks in advance

      My field is agriculture. I don't know how familiar you are with this field, but there is much more autonomy for me as an educator (I have no set curriculum) and for students.

      I'm trying to be as low stakes as possible but I don't want to entirely change everything my cooperating teacher is doing and I'm in rural Iowa so it's not like Marxist thought or analysis is something that is common here.

      Thanks for the recommendations!
