For example, a fairly recent trend in the United States is the use of rubrics. Students are told exactly what they must do to achieve a certain grade on a project or in a class. Teachers like it because it makes grading more objective but students who are used to clear expectations and frequent feedback can experience culture shock in the workplace. Businesses and K-12 leaders need to work together to achieve common goals -- individuals who are prepared to take their place in society as independent, self-supporting beings.

Having been working , and still, with multiple cultures, I can tell you that such assessment is very very true in the areas of French teaching methods and even approach of HR assessments compared to foreign ones... BUT we are evolving because, for once, globalization is providing lights and force evolution. Now, one boundary that needs to be defined and translated into new learning methods is the "Rigor v.s. Creativity" boundary. I.e. how to free creativity and, at the same time, having creativity results being rigorously exploited. Ah!!
