In the context of educational assessment, rubrics remain a prominent tool for measuring student performance and guiding instructional practices. In this month's Five Moore Minute video, Dr. Shelley Moore addresses issues with how rubrics are utilized, particularly after their evolution influenced by online resources, which have shifted their original intent. In this Podcast episode, Shelley talk to Outside Pin Laurie McIntosh, a Kindergarten teacher, who is using continuums to create accessibility and challenge for ALL her students.

The concept of inclusion has evolved significantly in education, moving beyond mere physical presence in classrooms to encompass a deeper understanding of belonging and recognition of identity. In this podcast episode, Dr. Shelley Moore talks with fellow Outside Pin Hina Mahmood about the recent Five Moore Minutes video where Shelley emphasizes that inclusion is not about forcing individuals to conform to a dominant group, but rather about fostering environments where diverse identities can coexist and thrive. This perspective aligns with research that underscores the importance of recognizing and valuing the multifaceted identities of students to promote their academic and social well-being (Civitillo et al., 2021; Preusche & Göbel, 2021; Verhoeven et al., 2018).

What is Support? In many educational conversations, the term "support" has evolved into a multifaceted concept that is often misused and misunderstood. This is particularly evident in discussions surrounding the role of Educational Assistants (EAs) or paraprofessionals. While many educators, families, and students advocate for increased support through the hiring of EAs, it is essential to clarify that EAs themselves are not the support; rather, they can be supportive agents within the educational framework (Bennett et al., 2021; Gibson et al., 2015). This distinction is crucial for understanding how to effectively address the needs of students in inclusive education settings. To unpack this notion, January 2025's Five Moore Minutes episode targets four key terms: needs, supports, strategies, and resources. In this podcast episode, Shelley has a deeper conversation about the 5MM video with Dr. Leyton Schnellert, a member of her Outside Pin team.
