Each of the foundation studies and genre studies in Writing Aviator contains pre- and post-assessments to measure growth in writing competence. In addition, the studies contain rubrics and other tools that teachers can use to monitor progress and assess students' writing skills.

Writing Aviator includes a powerful set of classroom rubrics that enables teachers and students to assess specific aspects of their writing over time.

The rubrics support progress toward end-of-year, grade-level expectations aligned with state or district standards. Students help customize the rubrics—and make them increasingly more rigorous throughout the year. They work with their teachers to use the rubrics to assess and revise their work.
