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.

Course Description
Attention! It is the middle of the semester and now time to grade all those research papers. As you settle in to grade, you ask, for the twentieth time in your career, "Do I really have to fail a student if they forgot the works cited page or in-text citations?"
This third of five courses in the Grading Calibration series will equip you to grade research papers quickly and effectively for the benefit of your students.
