What should a rating team do if there is uncertainty about whether or not the student has mastered an item?
Uncertainty about whether or not a student has achieved mastery of an item may indicate that that the student is close to achieving that objective in one setting but not in another. A team should first review the examples provided for the item and discuss their own observations of the student. If this fails to resolve rating differences among the team, postpone the marking of that item until each team member can gather more information or view the student in several situations.
