Five-Part Grading Calibration Series
This series will teach you what calibration is and give you direct feedback as you align your rubric scoring with that of experts in three major ELA categories - literary analysis, research papers, and middle school writing.
How is this accomplished?
For each category of Language Arts, the learner will participate in a speed exercise, analyze sample papers, and compare their more detailed scoring against a calibration team's assessment. Each category is followed by an assessment to ensure calibration.
