Why Indicators Are a Teacher’s Best Friend

In this episode, Andrew Pudewa and Julie Walker discuss the brilliance of Dr. Webster’s checklist system and the indicators in particular.

With stylistic techniques identified by the indicators, teachers can evaluate student papers more efficiently and effectively.
