In June 2023 the Massachusetts Department of Elementary Secondary Education released the new model rubric for school level administrators. Per the DESE, the rubrics have been updated to strengthen culturally and linguistically sustaining practices through the Standards and Indicators. The updated rubric reflects a significant step forward in the commitment to ensuring that all students in Massachusetts, and particularly students from historically underserved groups and communities, have equitable opportunities to excel and thrive. The new rubric is designed to be both a reflective tool and a roadmap for school leaders to cultivate a shared vision that makes powerful teaching and learning the central focus of learning.
