Rubrics, Results and Team Photos are coming…
We have received multiple emails over the past few days asking about these items.
With regards to rubrics, they will get mailed. We have avoided handing them out at the end of the tournament day for a couple of reasons – the primary reason is that every rubric sheet must be reviewed for appropriate comments and it would delay the closing ceremony to do this in order to hand them out before teams go home. But a secondary reason is that coaches and parents reaction makes me want to spare the kids. When we hand back rubrics on the same day, I have overheard (the vast majority of times, if not every time) an adult questioning/berating a child about a specific rubric item – I have seen children go from happy/excited to sad/crying over this ; it breaks my heart. On the jotform it had the line, “Enter Mailing Address to send Rubrics” and this is where I will mail them. Most likely after this weekend, we will start to free up and can start getting through each tournament’s paperwork (the rubrics are generally all together with other paperwork that is all thrown together).
With regards to awards and scores, again, these will get posted – on this site. We want to recognize the award winners and want to include the short commentary that went along with each 1st place team that was said at the closing ceremony.
Finally on the team photos (and other photos), this one is just time to upload to flickr. Again, will happen and will fit it in over the next few weeks.
When I mentioned at your tournament about needing to engage more volunteers at a physical Playing At Learning location – it was to help with items like these. Right now, these are difficult to hand off to someone else. They are not in a form to be handed off – otherwise it would be done already.
