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?
The learner will compare high school and middle school rubrics, 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
Though you have only ever been a high-school literature teacher, your administrator informs you that you have also been assigned three middle school ELA classes. Maybe you freeze. Maybe you start panicking.
Don’t worry, though, because this fourth of five courses in the Grading Calibration series will help you become more comfortable scoring middle school essays.
