How were the West Virginia Six-Point Writing Rubrics developed?
The WVDE Office of Assessment, Accountability and Research and the WVDE Office of Instruction led a team of West Virginia content specialists in the development of the West Virginia Writing Rubrics, grades 3-11. These rubrics were developed around grade-level, 21st Century Reading/Language Arts Content Standards and Objectives, and were used to score the field test compositions and to train the scoring engine. In addition to their alignment to the West Virginia CSOs, the rubrics were also aligned to the NAEP, ACT and SAT rubrics.
