the assessment will need to complete the work upon return in one 50-‐minute session. • Grading of the assessment will be completed December 9, 10, and 11. • The six-‐point holistic rubric for the ACT writing test will be used to score the benchmark writing
assessment. Initial calibration training will be scheduled during PLC time either Dec. 1st or 8th (details to follow).
• Each teacher will be scheduled to participate in grading for at least one day. • Guest teachers will be provided by the Assessment office. • Each building will have a Scantron iNSIGHT 4ES scanner for grading the benchmark assessments, as well as
other assessments/assignments throughout the year. • Scoring forms have been ordered. • Assessment facilitators will be Jean O’Connor (HHS), Kelley Morand (CHS) and Kelly Stoner.
