Yes, I've used it with beginning teachers in my teacher ed program. Their main project is a case study using a wide range of authentic assessment practices including observations/anecdotal notes. The comprehension rubrics are not always used more formally. In fact of course many of these beginning teachers are not in settings which use good approaches to assessment. But they can see the usefulness and it helps them supplement things like retellings which are often simplistic in my view. They learn to listen differently, add these to their anecdotal notes etc. We haven't actually used the text passages themselves. Sally
