How are teachers with self-contained classes and teachers of multiple content areas to score the content-specific writing tasks/assignments?
• Teachers may consult with their testing coordinator and check their school testing plan for specific procedures that address this issue at the local level. The Administrative Guide instructs the content area teacher to submit the Content score and the ELA teacher to submit the Features and Conventions scores. Teachers who have self-contained classes or teach multiple subjects (i.e, ELA and Math) should choose one scoring role and score that area with the appropriate rubric (such as Features and Conventions for ELA). Then, they can collaborate with another teacher who can score the remaining portion using the appropriate scoring rubric (e.g., Content Area).
