  2. IPT rating is holistic • Holistic scoring is based on the combined effect of all features of a writing sample. • Observe the criteria, but evaluate the writing as a total piece of work, greater than the sum of its parts. • Process: • Read the entire response, then promptly assign a score • Look for and reward things done well • Remember that this is a draft written in 10-15 minutes

  3. Rubrics and grade level expectations • Rating rubrics are grade span specific • However, the application is grade-specific, ensuring fairness to students • Expected level of performance is moderated by grade level expectations • Reflected in vocabulary, grammar, amount of text, degree of writing sophistication • Rating must be guided by the grade-specific writing samples in the EMs

  4. Criteria in the rubrics • Addressing the topic • Content (main idea + details) • Cohesion: connections between ideas • Vocabulary: sophistication (grade-level expectations), whether used appropriately • Accuracy of spelling vs. errors • Grammatical accuracy and complexity • Writing conventions: punct., caps, word spacing

  21. Grade-level expectations • Cut across the criteria • Reflect both linguistic variables (vocabulary, grammar) and maturity in thinking (conceptual and textual complexity) • Mean that rating requires familiarity with • student writing at the relevant grade levels • the rating rubric • the grade-specific samples in the EMs

  22. Grade-specific scoring • When training, go through the task-specific, grade-specific anchor and practice samples in the EM. Use both anchor and practice samples. • Remember that the samples illustrate variation between grades, but also variation within a score point (“high” and “low” 2s, 3s and 4s). • Consider having a group of teachers specialize in writing rating, rather than having everyone rate a small number of students. • When possible, use two raters.
